Trail Reviews
After a lovely evening in Rome with my friend Alessandra, here I am on the road to the Abbruzzi and a lovely hike to Duchess Lake. Gorgeous !
A tough path but one of rare beauty. First stretch immersed in a wood where sunlight struggles to penetrate. Taken in the technical and tough woods but maybe done with boots .... After the woods the landscape becomes lunar without trees but beautiful. To do!!!!
