Bad weather was announced, nothing of it in the morning, so out of the sleeping bag and down to the track. Every single movement much easier than yesterday, seems that I am now better regenerated. Always wanted to go to my limits, think the day before yesterday I succeeded again. Whether that is now the age (I'm finally 46 years old) or something else I have to discuss in retrospect to the tour. Compare performance data, with similar efforts, just learn something and do even better next time (less weight, of course). So down to the train, first bought the ticket, obligatory delay of the train, so still time for a cappuccino, then 3 stations further and then in Camogli it went then also immediately up to San Recco, again 300 meters altitude with stairs, super. Above equal further along the coast, went equal again steps down to sea level towards Punta Chiappa. So beautiful there, although it was already announced, the storm. Hardly at sea level it began to storm and rain, so poncho on and back, then a small mistake, instead of going back the same way on the quay I went a steeper trail back to San Nicolo. Stony ground, with hail, thunder and lightning and heavy rain, of course the water came to meet you and turned the bad path into a small river. My sneakers were wet faster than I could look. Otherwise I stayed relatively dry, poncho remained tight. The hailstones were still relatively small, but I didn't like the impact on my head. 20 minutes later, when I was back in San Nicolo, it had also stopped pouring. Short and violent was that. I thought about going further to Portofino, it seemed to clear up, but decided against it because of the super wet shoes. Must I just come here again sometime to explore the peninsula further, what a pity. Fortunately, I thought about it that way! The way back lasted and including train and shopping I was just in the moment at the campsite as the rain started again, this time no local thunderstorm, but rather area-wide everywhere. So I sat down on the porch, cookies, Bundesliga, bum, what more do you want? Now still after showering in the restaurant and pack, tomorrow it goes on, in this sense good evening .
