Day 36: Amunì compà, Uma & Marco race to Sicily!: 30km from Gaeta to Sessa Aurunca

"It's great to believe in yourself, but you need to give yourself reasons for that belief. Confidence comes from evidence."

The route:
Finally. Walk!
At dinner yesterday, we had the spontaneous idea to start today's stage to Sessa Aurunca in Gaeta instead of Portocorvo. The reason was an interesting article in the NZZ from March 15, 2025, with the following teaser:
"Fine beaches, soft light, and a wealth of history. In Gaeta, Bella Italia sinks and rises again. Anyone who wants to experience the essence of the city of mighty fortresses should visit a certain bar."

.

Good? Bad? Ugly?

So we went there early in the morning, but unfortunately the Bar Bazzanti was closed on Mondays 😢
Nonetheless, we've definitely arrived in the deep south, enjoying the sea and the hustle and bustle of the people. Then I start the stage: a full 20km of it is on the Lungomare – finally!

A total distance of 30 km and 119 meters of altitude.

Be there!
