Intended to walk to town, but felt like I was getting roasted by the sun along the beach, so doubled back for sunscreen. Try again.

So this was the walk into Vasto, along the beach, with a pretty ferocious climb up to the top, then a stop for lunch at a place along the Loggia Amblingh, the footpath that climbs to the upper town. Forgot to turn off the watch, so I deducted about half an hour. Lunch was very good, Cozze ripiene ala vastese, that is, stuffed mussels, Vasto-style. Not sure how they do the stuffing, but it was very tasty, with a clear broth that tasted of the sea and tomato and onion.
By the end I was a bit tired and footsore, but no race today, so just a little time to relax.
