To follow on from yesterday, Vatican Cow wishes to announce that all sandwiches are valid, but only if they have a top slice. Without, it’s just a canapé. @cunobaros.bsky.social @bjornfr.bsky.social @sierrakim.bsky.social

Lago Bianco, my favourite bit. I think this might be my birthday treat next year - feeling very jealous of the walkers out there today.

This journey ends at Paterno, as the last bit of the line into Catania is having work done. The rail replacement bus was waiting outside and we’re all on board and heading towards the Catania metro.
