If you lonely in dark night
If you're to weak to face the fight
If you're lost and out of sight
If you can't see any light
If you're afraid to start the day
If you're prefer to hide and stay
If you don't know to whom to pray
If you're missing words you want to say
Take my promise, take my hand
Together we will find the land
Only one can set you free
It's a secret, hidden key
beyond fear and behind sin
Believe my friend - that love will win

I started the fifth day of my journey with the announced visit of the old cathedral.
But no surprise - I wasn't really inside as I already felt the urge to turn around and leave again. It's to much for me...i prefer the simple things. But at least I took a nice picture of the artful architecture and interior.
Leaving Spoleto on the described way turned out to be a problem, because the beautiful old Roman bridge was closed due of reconstruction.
My search for the alternative route brought me in circles back to the monastery where I started from and finally I already walked 4km without gaining any distance.
But that gave me the chance to get some money and eat again in the nice pizzeria I discovered yesterday. And it turned out that I needed both - the energy of the food and the money for shelter.
The path went uphill very steep again, bordered by beautiful flowers and giving a spectacular view over the city and the valley I crossed the last days.
Funnily there were a number of constructions for sport activities along the way... didn't tried it out, carrying my backpack uphill was sport enough for me.
It took a while until I finally arrived at the other side of the closed bridge but the view was worth it.
Another hour later I reached the monastery of Monteluca, embedded in deep forest at the mountain side. Close nearby the silence ended suddenly, because a large picnic area interrupted the solitude. I didn't stop but continued my way further uphill, now following a small street. Fortunately not as steep as before, but for long lasting kilometres.
At first the street was winding higher and higher until suddenly I left the forest and could look around... and was stunned! The reward for climbing under the burning sun was a spectacular view to all sides, even Assisi I could see I the far distance
Nearly on top of the mountain I arrived at my goal, a charming agriturism.
Now I'm enjoying freshly showered my self cooked Minestrone and looking forward to see the sunrise.
Tomorrow will lead me downhill again, will be a long and difficult walk, but I'm sure I'll enjoy it.
