Day 12!
Today was a mentally challenging day. We knew it was going to be a hot day and we would be hitting the trail a bit later in the day. From the guides: Farmlands and fields take us to the waterfall of Monte Gelato, where we can rest our feet in the cold water. After entering the Parco di Veio, a panoramic unpaved road leads us directly into Campagnano, where we spend 2 nights. Our hotel is a famous historical building: since the 15th century it has been one of the best-known postal relays and inns along the Via Cassia. It has accommodated illustrious travellers such as the German writer Goethe and the Italians Alfieri and Belli.
Start of day
We started our day touring an Etruscan archeological site: the Parco archeologico dell’ antichissima città di Sutri. It was so cool! Amphitheater was perfectly round.
We went into Mitreo which had frescoes inside. It is a protected space, so only 9 people could go in at a time. We were only in for a moment when a fellow hiker fell in and had to be taken to the hospital.
The Hiking
It was flat for the first part but we started midday when the sun was hot
This is the ascent into the town where we ended for the day.
