This morning, I heard people talk somewhere close to my tent, so I quickly packed and left. It was lots of road walk, but on a quiet roads. It was not cold but gray. While I woke up, looking onto a nice blue sky, my trail brought me into the mountains with clouds and thus fog. Normally I like to walk in the mountains, but today it would have been much nicer in the valley!
I walked some short cuts and over pastures, following the gas line, before I climbed over a fence and was back on some dirt roads. I hit the Camino di San Francesco di Paola and other marked trails, which is so much nicer than having to find out where to go, when there are many options that don't even show up on my map!In the afternoon, I headed again into cloudy mountains after some short views into the sunny valley, but through beautiful beech forests. Thus I managed to see 8 fire salamanders before I sat up my tent on a windy ridge in the beech forest.
And there the next near disaster happened: I broke the edge of a segment of my tent pole. Because the cord is so loose by now, there is no tension and the segments weren't put together entirely. I fixed it with tape but thought that it can't be long anymore, before all my gear is garbage. I also discovered a hole in my shoe yesterday evening...
Off into the clouds...
A very still fire salamander - perfect for close up pictures :)
Can you see those 2 salamanders?
