[QUOTE="jungleboy, post: 1248116, member: 77691"] [B]Day 3: Corleone to Prizzi — 20km[/B] There’s no easing into the camino this morning; it’s uphill from the very first step through the alleyways of Corleone all the way up to the Saracen Tower that surveys the town from a rocky outcrop. The tower is incorrectly named but still dates from medieval times, and I stop nearby for breakfast while waiting for the sun to come out, which it eventually does, illuminating the tower and the wild fennel plants that grow all around it. [ATTACH type="full"]168412[/ATTACH] The early part of the stage is less adventurous than yesterday, a fair bit of the walking is on asphalt (though the occasional flower growing out of it makes for an interesting sight), and it seems destined to go down as a pleasant enough but pretty unremarkable day. Then I reach the hamlet of Imbriaca, where one of the population of six gives me and two Italian pilgrims a stamp and an impromptu and interesting little tour of a small church and a room that includes a public phone booth and a concrete bench that once served as a bed for pilgrims. After one of the Italians’ seemingly random Port Adelaide Football Club hat serves as a topic of introduction (she lived in Adelaide for a time), I walk with them the rest of the way and am glad for the company and grateful for the opportunity to speak Italian at length. [ATTACH type="full"]168411[/ATTACH] Almost before we know it, Prizzi is in front of us — or more accurately, above us; there’s no escaping the obligatory climb into town — and the stage is over. I eat an excellent lunch at a local restaurant, including the first caponata I’ve had on this trip, and all these little wins add up to the realisation that, in the end, this was a pretty great day. … Some practicalities: Trail: the walk was rural but often on paved country roads, and shadeless as I’ve come to expect by now. Not as nice surface-wise as yesterday but better than the day before. Food: none en route but it’s a pretty short stage so you can make it to Prizzi for lunch. The Trattoria del Corso is very good! There are only a couple of restaurants in town so in the end I went back to the same place for dinner and almost all the Italian pellegrini were there, so it was another good opportunity for conversation. Water: 7km in there is a fountain as part of a nice little stone rest area. There is also water at Imbriaca (the tap may be attached to a hose but you can remove it), so 1L was enough for me today. Accommodation: La Casa della Bougainville seems to be the popular choice but there were only dorm beds left when I contacted them yesterday. They suggested La Casa di Kokalo for a private room and I have a small apartment for €22, quite a bargain! [/QUOTE]
