Today was 18 miles and 700′ of climbing. We’re now over 200 miles walked (206) and 23,600′ of climbing. Honestly, we believe the GPS watch was acting up because, apart from 4 overpasses, we can’t think of ANY climbing today!
We don’t have much of a wifi today, so the post will be short. It was a day of endless rice fields
Now, rice is grown with a lot of standing water. Standing water is like a tropical paradise for mosquitoes 🦟… It took about 2 minutes in the first rice field before Bill pulled out the DEET. Then, all was well!
The other feature of today’s walk was the ever-presence of a very tall, snow-capped peak on the Italian/Swiss border.
Asking an Austrian and a French for clues proved to no avail. So, we went to where all answers are found … Google! Checking the map, the Matterhorn perfectly lined up with the direction we were looking. Net we’re calling it the Matterhorn (unless someone corrects us)
Arrivederci!
Boy, I better get with it! I am a day behind. So the Matterhorn, hey! Don’t have to go to Disneyland for that one. What are the amazing journey the two of you were on. Thanks so much for sharing your pictures every day, it’s so fun to see where you’ve been, even the pictures don’t do justice for the real thing. Love you both!
Willow, thanks for being with us! Yep, the Matterhorn! Clearly not as good as Disney because there’s no roller coaster. What’s up with that? We’re on a short lease now; only 3 more walking days. Darn! Take care of yourself.
