Today we hit the wall, less figuratively and more literally. With an uphill climb that ended into a wall that surrounds a hilltop monastery. We left Poreto early because the weather predicted rain and we wanted to arrive to Trevi before rainfall.
We started uphill through olive groves and with low clouds framing the hillside. It was a rolling walk much of the day as we worked our way through the steep terraced slopes of these centuries-old olive groves.
To get across to Trevi required a bit of an uphill which started as a narrow single track through wet woods, then at its opening, the straight ascent to the wall. After that we walked another 3km to Trevi, winding up to the top.
The group was in good spirits having accomplished this leg of our trek and we celebrated in the piazza with by having an aperitif consisting of Aperol Spritz and snacks.
