Italy - Day 18: Humid hot walk to Isernia

Today was truly unspectacular and just humid hot, hot and hot!

I walked mostly on dirt roads, passed Roccamandolfi in the morning, where lots of people wanted to use the spring, where I was washing my socks at.

Then the Sentiero Italia must go the same way as a pilgrims trail, as it was suddenly well marked and I passed a few churches, the biggest being Santuario dell'Addolorata.

I found a cherry tree with some ripe fruits but was called off by a woman, passing in a car...

In Isernia, I went crazy shopping for food, before I walked down through the old town on to a looong road walk. This is not the SI, but me making things up. The SI splits into a Western and Eastern route. I want to follow the Eastern route, which means I will miss the Abruzzo Nationalpark. So I will do some roadwalk to get to the National Park, make a loop there and walk back on the SI.

However, my road walk today was stopped quickly, when I heard some thunder. I found a crappy spot next to a road (more bigger roads and houses everywhere around me). I managed to set up my tent before the rain started, but then there were only a few raindrops!

Tomorrow will be road walk and maybe some more rain. And then I hope the weather gets nicer when I'm in the mountains again!
