14 May 2014- 28km from Aosta to Chatillon
Today I set off from Aosta and walked to Nus (where I had the best focaccia sandwich of ham, dried tomatoes and fresh cheese marinated in oil and herbs, grudgingly made by the woman in the little grocery shop in Nus, after saying she couldn’t make it…) then through other small places and finished in Chatillon (after a slight miscalculation based on having a couple of choices of route so I did 28km). Glorious day and wonderful views both up and down the valley.
On arrival in the small town, trying to save my wounded feet from walking any unnecessary steps, I asked a couple of policemen standing next to their car in the main street where the street of my hotel was. They replied that they were from Rome so didn’t know – I looked at their uniforms & they were from the Financial Squad so I jokingly said that they’d have trouble catching “their man” if they didn’t know the town!
After going to the pharmacy & getting the blister bandages I went to a good pizzeria & used their wifi for a couple of hours…
