Én av flere veier som leder til Rom
Jeg liker å gå langt. I håp om å mirakuløst bli kurert for denne lidelsen bestemte jeg meg for å ta et fly til Milano og så komme meg derfra til Roma via den gamle pilegrimsruta Via Francigena, stort sett til fots. Tidligere har jeg gått Camino de Santiago i Spania, og blitt bortskjemt som pilegrim der, med vidunderlige vandrerhjem, en lokalbefolkning som er glade i pilegrimer (litt fordi de lever av dem, men også litt fordi de ofte selv har gått turen) og idylliske omgivelser stort sett hele veien.
Hvordan gikk det? Veeeel... Kikk på bildene under og les tekstene, så får vi se...
One of Several Roads Leading to Rome
I quite enjoy walking long distances. Hoping to miraculously be cured of this ailment, I decided to get on a plane to Milan and walk (most of) an old pilgrims route, Via Francigena, from there to Rome. Previously I had walked the Camino de Santiago in Spain, an experience full of comfortable hostels, locals who love pilgrims (partially because pilgrims bring money, but often also because they've done the walk themselves), and wonderful surroundings almost the entire way.
How did it go? Weeell, look at the photos below and read the captions, and we'll see...
