Finally, we have arrived at our finish line after 1'240 km in 50 days with 21'600 m ascents.
The first 6 km of today's walk was on the main road, Via Cassia, sometimes with pavement, sometimes without. The pavement was wide enough for only one person and there was so much weed, leaves, rubbish, and

After Viterbo, the trail went through the

It was a short sunny day with the view of Lake Bolsena all day long among olive orchards. The downside was there wasn't any café or restaurant for morning tea. However, Bruno found a bench on his OSM map when we needed a break.
Montefiascone is a medieval town on the top of a hill (what else?) looking

We had nice dinner yesterday. Usually, we have a mixed salad and a pasta dish. In Tuscany, it was pici, homemade thick spaghetti, either with truffle or porcini. Yesterday, we had an anchovy and lemon sauce.
Before we started walking at full speed, we went to the church to have a look at the 10th century
