VId.13    Section Potame - Rogliano   13 km

This became a short hiking day and all of it was along roads. The day was sunny and hot. I met another long distance hiker. The Swiss guy was hiking in the opposite direction heading north. We stoped for a while and talked. We exchanged a lot of information about our respective trail ahead. Than I moved on and I later stoped in Belsito at a bar. The owner was a big Elvis fan. The whole bar including the music was Elvis. The break in the shade was a welcome refresh. In Rogliano I had booked a room at a B&B. My plan had been to walk in two day via Soveria Mannelli to San Pietro Appostolo. Being so hot I cosidered taking the train to Gimigliano. However the train was out of service for long term maintenance work. Instead of the train a bus was operating. Ok, it will be a bus. In the evening I went for dinner at a piza joint that was recommed by the host.
