Day 22 – Rieti to Poggio San Lorenzo
After yesterday’ weather which was I’ll admit fun for a day, planning around weather for today was high on the list and there was good news. No rain forecast after 8am, 20kph winds but no rain.
Looking good and the forecast was on the money
Hotel Cavour was well situated in the city and I went for a walk through the old city before I left. Early Monday morning I quiet but it had a good feel and some intact Roman walls.
My room over looked old Rieti. Note the remains of the old Roman bridge
Via Roma the main shopping street
Part of the old Cathedral
The Walk to Poggio San Lorenzo
The wall was easy largely following a river valley before climbing hills after about 10km’s. The autumn colours and clarity of the water in the streams are the 2 aspects I don’t tire of. But I prefer the hill walking, with the odd walled town or roman ruin.
Love walking through the falling leaves
