This morning, at the end, the great adventure began: walking from Milan to Finisterre! Like all the great travels, it started with the first step, in front of the Basilic of Sant’Ambrogio. The beautiful surprise was that I arrived there together with my mum, my first Camino mate, and we found there some other friends: Patrizia and Lino, who contacted me in the latest weeks and I finally met in person! Later Valeria – who will be spiritually by my side -, Luigi – who will soon have his own part of adventure – and Stefano arrived. After some pictures and the last hugs, Stefano and I left in direction of Pavia.

Today, the first 35 km flew away, while we were chatting and we were also joined by Luca who was riding his bike. The weather was nice and the legs worked well… So, some time past 17, we were already facing the covered bridge in Pavia with a red fruits granita in our hands! This first day was one of those that worried me most… so, I am very satisfied! Now, after a quite dinner with a very kind family who host pilgrims in Borgo Ticino, I can sleep and rest waiting for tomorrow!
