28 June 2021 – Parcent to Murla

 

Twelve of us for the last walk before the summer break

This included Jo, who we have not seen for a few months 

What a relief that we no longer have to wear face masks all the time

We still have to wear them indoors and when we cannot maintain 1.5 metre distance


 So we have to carry them during the walk just in case we need them

 
We were surprised to pass people wearing masks, even in the campo

Not as hot as expected today, thanks to a cool breeze

Nice slow pace and lots of water stops

We had our banana break outside the church in Murla

It was not as peaceful as usual, due to workmen in a nearby town house

But was nice a shaded and we were ready for a break

We avoided the main part of the village

And met this friendly horse as a result

We followed a different route back

And captured this unusual view of the particularly unattractive clock tower

The return journey is more exposed and we were more aware of the higher temperatures

So we took every opportunity of a shady water stop

Due to the slower place it took longer than expected to reach Parcent

And a very welcome cold drink at the cooperativa

Stats

Time taken – 3.5 hours

Distance – 9 km

Temperature – 24c to 28c
