In Galatina: Rachael’s walk in the countryside

April 11, 2023

We arrived in Galatina after all the grocery stores were closed so I had to go shopping for breakfast and lunch supplies at 8 am the next morning. Unfortunately, the store was in chaos because the staff had to restock the shelf’s after the Easter break! I finally found the food I needed and headed back to the apartment but first stopped at a bakery to get Scott some fresh croissants. I had difficulty finding the apartment again but finally found it. When I got upstairs and started unpacking the groceries, I realized I was missing a bag that contained mostly lunch stuff for Scott. I headed back out looking for it but never found it. Not a good way to start the day but we did have breakfast fixings.

By the time we finished breakfast we looked at the weather forecast and it predicted very strong winds. I knew I wanted to get outside so I took off on a long walk. I had a very strong headwind for at least 4 miles but fortunately, I knew it would be better on the way back so I persevered. Below are photos from my walk. I was so glad that I persevered. I did have one other issue when I realized I didn’t have food or water. I then found the most direct way back to a cafe and stopped there for a great sandwich and water. Unfortunately, I still had a mile and half to walk to get back to our place and it as on a very busy road but I made it.

Below are photos from the walk. There were a lot of interesting old structures and the flowers and blooming trees were incredible.
