Sutri to Campagnano di Roma

[Bob from L.A. !]

After a scheduled rest day yesterday in Sutri I was on the road this morning at 5 and was drenched in sweat within a mile from the high temperature and high humidity levels.
Today's trek was on agricultural roads lined with grapes, figs and apricots.
Throughout the hilly course I saw no one all day until I finally came to Lake Bracciano where I met 3 Swiss hikers.
By early afternoon I made it to Campagnano and immediately drank 2 liters of water.
***Today marks the end of day 86 and I have now gone over 1200 miles***.
Two more walking days until reaching St. Peter's Square. Can't wait!

Bob, you are getting close now. Very nice pictures, as always. I sure am glad I don't feel the heat radiating out of them though!

Hi Bob
Have followed your travels with envy. We are looking at doing the Via Francigena from Canterbury in 2024 and will.have the 90 day visa limit. Does 86 days include rest days?
Thanks
Kathy

@Camino Chrissy - Today was no better than yesterday. 33 degrees by 9 A.M.

Bob, it looks like you have some clouds today; hopefully the temp will not keep building too much more if the sun stays hidden.

I am so happy for your progress! I will be working on this for two, maybe three years and enjoying every step.
Buen camino!

By the time I get to the Francigena, those beautiful grapes will be ready for harvest and the crush. We are all connected on this journey. Buon Camino!

@jpatrick - You're going to really enjoy this trip

@NYC Walking - I've never drank so much water in my life. (Electrolytes too)

Hi Bob, Like "steady" I am planning to walk the VF next year (postponed from the COVID times). So would also appreciate your itinerary. But I cannot find a PM or message tab on your icon. Could you please tell me how do I do a PM? Cheers, John.

If you click on his name, a box pops open with an option that says "Start Conversation"... do that.
Buen Camino.
