Day 5: Moving on ...

 Day 5: Castronovo di Sicilia to Cammarata


It's never just about the Stats ...

Today - Kms: 13
Todate - Kms: 107
To Go - Kms: 77

Completed: 58%

After overnight heavy rain, it was a misty start:


We were soon at Capelvenere Necropolis:


Ask not for whom the bells toll
They toll for thee

As we passed through olive groves, I thought of what Paramahansa Yogananda said:


Colle San Vitale - Best Olives in Sicily

Crossing the Bridge over the River Platani:



For Movie Fans: No sign of Colonel Nicholson.

Elevenses at Casale di San Pietro, founded in 1094 by Great Count Roger - in the middle in the photo !


A couple of gentle (??!!) Uphill Teasers and we were on the outskirts of Cammarata:


Pilgrims' Lunch at Bar Sicilia:


And a Good Boy Gelato too:


Finally; We ambled on to do 4 kilometres of tomorrow's walk for our overnight stay at Casale Margherita.

Always good to get ahead of Plan !

As we say in Sicily: 

Pagamento Anticipato 

Altogether, Day 5 was a day for Moving On:

I hope the Daily Blogs give you some insight into the Joy of Pilgrimage.

In the remaining blogs I'd like to mention just some of the Big Themes, each with its own Top Tune.

First up; All of us walking the Magna Via strongly believe in As always, All welcome.

You'd like to join us, you really would  ... But ...

As David Bowie sang: I'm an Absolute Beginner.

We all have to take that First Step.

May the words of Chris Rea give you the
  Confidence to join us Next Time:

Nothing To Fear
