hey all. long time lurker and occasional shitposter.

so in a section of my nine months traveling this year my gf and i walked the 500 odd km of the way of st francis from florence to rome via the appennine mountains. i/we enjoyed seeing rural tuscany, abruzzo and Lazio and having had so much entertainment on this forum this is my AMA in return.

we're 29 yo australians with passable italian. we walked over 28 days in september/october. the walk has more altitude gain and loss than the semi comparible camino de santiago (done in 2010). there is a mixture of church supported accommodation and commercial b&bs and hotels. food and days are easily planable to stop in towns/cities each night but always water and often lunch needs to be carried. the trails are a mixture of rural/forest and rural towns. we were just off the back of long distance hiking in the US and had pack weights of about 6-8kg. we used sandy browns guide book but its inaccurate and frustrating as fuck.

enjoy some pics and AMA.
