The walk up to Passo Bareta was nice and comfortable. Nice landscape, a bit like in the moon and somehow it felt lonelier than for example in the much higher Barone area. It took me an hour longer to get up there than the signs said. And I didn't walk to Passo di Lucomagno (Lukmanierpass), because I would miss the bus. Instead I stopped at Acquacalda. I was studying the timetable, realizing I had to wait one and a half hours in the sun on the road when a man materialised out of a hotel that was being rebuilt and asked if I needed a lift to the pass. And he didn't even have to go, it was just to help. Isn't that awfully nice? That way I could sit in the cafe at the pass and have a drink while I waited for the bus.
