We were a little delayed this morning by the hostel person turning up late to give us breakfast, but in the end we managed to set off by 9.30.

| Lago de Fiastre |
Although the amount of ascent and the mileage were similar to yesterday, it felt a lot harder because the hills were steeper and there was a really long ascent for several miles. Knackering.

| Yikes! |
On the plus side, we didn’t have any steep descents. Great views over the hills, and a cool breeze most of the day. Very good walking temperature again.
| Nearly at Fiastre |
The hostel tonight is good but I made the mistake of going for beef again, and it arrived as wafer-thin slices in gravy, including a lot of fat. Looked the same as last night’s unappetising veal shank. That’s obviously how they roll around here. I’ll go for the vegetarian options from now on. We also had polenta with a thick layer of cheese and some mushrooms - nice but very salty and heavy. The meals are a bit light on fruit and veg so far. Mountain food, I guess.
An easier day tomorrow, and then a two-night stay in a nice guesthouse.
