Stage 18: Fiorenzuola to Fidenza. And back again, and again…(Part 1)


An early bus to Fiorenzuola, where I roused a rather harassed-looking parrochial functionary for my pilgrim stamp. A quick breakfast by the Duomo and enormous clock tower, 
Then off onto flat country again, for the last time, I believe, and into the delightful village of Chiaravalle, 
where more caffeine was taken.

More tarmac and narrow roads, with a brief interlude on a shady gravel path, new hay and mountains beyond, 
And a reminder of how far I've walked on this path already, and how much further to Rome, but also that I am definitely now more than halfway on this 450km trip to Lucca.
