Day 8 – Today’s visions are good for the body & good for the soul . . .

Precious moments slip through our fingers, often hardly noticed. Fall to the ground behind us, like autumn leaves, never to be relived. Yet, recognising and savouring those instances, conjures a special kind of spiritual nourishment.

Photos and videos help to remind us. Never really recapture the experienced feeling. Today’s glorious journey takes us on to Valle Verde camp site, Predazzo, AKA the ‘Geological garden of the Alps’. Stunning views on all sides along our way, create the visionary equivalent of surround-sound.

Lakes & mountains – it makes you want to yodel . . .

Valle Verde camping is set in a wonderful valley location – with facilities to equal last night’s Spar, spa. We waste no time in walking off the day’s journey. Follow one of the many tracks directly from the site. A riverside walk takes us past a huge porphyry rock face – Imperial Rome’s most prestigious stone for columns, vases, alters, etc.

This special 270 million year old volcanic rock has incredible wear resistant properties.
