Distance: 19.0 km \u2013 Elevation +120 m -150 m<\/strong><\/p>\n

Weather: <\/strong>Sunny. Temperature: High 28 degrees<\/p>\n

I must admit the night on the inflated mattress was not my best being so close to the floor. So I was glad to rise for breakfast at the agreed time of 7.30. Monique had arranged with the Mayor of Corbiel for Tineke and myself to stay in the old schoolroom, a wonderful facility provided by the goodwill of the residents of Corbiel for pilgrims walking to Rome.<\/p>\n

So no rush to leave the hospitality of Monique and Jean-Pierre which continued as we all enjoyed a convivial breakfast together.<\/p>\n

We each had a group photo taken by Monique’s daughter.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tineke had already left when I started the walk along the Roman road to Corbiel. It was already warm and would get much hotter as the day progressed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It was really just a straight 20 kilometre walk with one little confusing kink in the middle – two bends and five paths to choose from – I think we both chose the wrong path before finding the correct path.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

By midday, the sun was baking hot and in desperate need of shade and rest, I came upon a grain store where I found shelter from the heat of the day. After moving on I started to use my trekking umbrella for the first time to provide shade as I walked- it was a great help.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I had overtaken Tineke so was the first to arrive at the Marie and attached schoolroom. Everywhere was open with a welcome sign on the schoolroom door. There was coffee and tea and rice cakes and two camp beds and a note from Mr. Mirofle to say that he would call by later.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It was perfectly cool in the schoolroom – an oasis in the middle of the Roman road. No shower – but a cold water wash on a hot day was refreshing. \u00cc caught up with my laundry which was totally dry within a few hours.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tineke arrived and shortly after, Mr. Mirofle called by with a very warm welcome and asked what time we would like to eat and would we like beer or wine.<\/p>\n

At 7.00 pm he came with a basket of food for dinner and breakfast. So Tineke  and I enjoyed a very convivial supper – she spoke very good English as most Dutch people do<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Repleat and after visiting the church which was open, we retired to our camp beds having agreed a time for rising in the morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
