One and a half hours climb up from the cabin, first stop, Rif de Manzano.
This is very nice...
Lots of mountain bikers here.(which equals one in Nellspeak). We went on up to another peak about 1000 m climb again...she does like to go up.
Track out to the final hill.
View back over Lake Carpenetti where we biked to yesterday
Ingenious method for making disinfectant in 1200's involved heating the limestone water, rich on calcium carbonate - all in the middle of a forest 2 hours walk up the mountain!
Cool steep rock formations
We were lost or at least a little bewildered when we came upon this tiny cabin complete with porcelain espresso cups in a cabinet...?retirement option. Murray 'read' the year old Italian newspaper while I worked out where we were.
At a small pub, a welcome stop on the walk back down to the village, an ingenious machine for cutting shingles. Murray was intrigued by the design of the hand turned wheel which coordinated the dragging through of the timber and allowed the shingles to be cut off at an adjustable length.
