It was a big day yesterday with the walk to Arrone – 35kms and steep tracks

Today’s walk to Piediluco which is situated on the shore of a lake was a welcome ‘cruise’.  

It is beautiful country, travelling first through a valley of hilltop villages, before following a waterway to the lake and then the hotel.

For my efforts yesterday, I received a new Fitbit badge – I don’t find the branding cool but it’s another milestone. Note to Fitbit – try to be a bit more International. Zac perhaps a role for you.

Oh, and while we are on the subject of congratulations, Jack lost his first tooth today and has prepared his bag for the tooth fairy. 

The dinner I have at Residence Fiocchi last night was quite good. Gnocchi with lamb and whole brown trout. The serving of my white wine was a little unusual though but the taste is all that matters and it passed there.
