Mercredi 28 octobre - Jour 37
Partir à la descente (après une petite montée dans la nouvelle ville de Matera, juste derrière les Sassi), un vrai régal. La campagne est magnifique, on est toujours sur le parc de la Murgia, et dire que les habitants de l’époque (parmi les 15’000…

Starting the descent (after a short climb in the new town of Matera, just behind the Sassi), a real treat. The countryside is magnificent, we are still in the Murgia park, and to think that the inhabitants of the time (among the 15,000 displaced from the Sassi in 1952

Une belle, très belle journée touristique aujourd’hui. Première fois qu’on lâche 30€ pour une randonnée. Elle était sécurisée, ceux qui n’avaient pas de profil aux souliers devaient louer des godillots. Particulier tout ça mais quelle belle sortie.

A beautiful, very beautiful tourist day today. First time we've shelled out €30 for a hike. It was secured, those who didn't have tread on their shoes had to rent boots. All a bit peculiar, but what a beautiful outing.

We did well to sweat blood and tears yesterday, Matera

How do you plan a stage? How do you make the right choices—kilometers or elevation gain, tourist interests, taking the weather into account (well, for example, the strong headwind), gauging our strength compared to other stages (past or future). You think you can make sensible
