What a beautiful walk today! We decided not to go the mountain route, but
instead travel the seaside old rail line walkway. The sun was shining and the
wind was blowing, which made for a pleasant trek. We passed Santo Stefano and stopped
at their street market and enjoyed a coffee pastry. The trek took us through
1.5km tunnel and in a few locations there was water trickling down and over the
years stalactites had formed on the wall. After 17 km we arrived in Imperia. Julie waited
at a bench while I searched for our accommodations. This was the most difficult
Pensione to find, located on the outskirts of the old town and hidden behind
the church. Pensione S. Giuseppe is run by the church and we were surprised how
modern the rooms were. Imperia (old town) covers a hill overlooking the ocean.
There are many places of interest and therefore we decided to stay an extra
day. Much to my delight as my right knee is getting sore, and a day’s rest (and
Ibuprofen) will help.
