I could get 6 day hikes with that combo here in the mountains. My favorite stay while on Navy 7 month cruise, Palermo Sicily. Would grab a fresh loaf from a street vendor’s wheel barrow full, go to a wine store, he would grab an empty bottle from the floor and rinse it, fill it from one of 5 kegs mounted in the wall above and push a cork in it. Grab some goat cheese, fill up a day pack and walk beyond the city and up one of many high pastures. Sit there alone, far away from sailors and spend the day consuming it all looking over the city with the ocean behind. Before cameras got small, I missed so many of my adventures abroad and here, never wanting to give up my wine, baguette and cheese in my pack to carry a camera. It’s all in my head though.
