In my previous sub episode I quit walking up that road as it didn't serve my purpose to reach the local hilltop as as easy as I thought. I walk back in the village of Quero where the day is still young and the houses look like they have overslept:
The absence of sidewalks sucks big time. This must be one of the most indifferent villages I've ever seen (no worries Quero, I've seen even worse, I've toured South Italy too, sleep tight 😉):
I take a short break on this bench,
where I see this thing on the other side:
Is this a church honouring "S. Antonii" (as it reads)? I can't cross check it as it's not even on Google Maps. Right here is also one of the most central houses of the village i a condition that makes you wonder if it's still lived or not:
Walking a little further I meet this cross literally in the middle of the road:
As you can see this cross is a cross between WTF and a prank. I guess it lights up at night which probably makes it even funnier.
Finally a bit of sidewalk:
If the village has one church that's it for sure, dedicated to Virgin Mary:
Not sure what's that for though:
It's a very windy day and the flags suffer:
My aim is to make it to the top of that hill:
But first I want to take a few pictures here. The church of course:

The sunbathing building:
And the wrinkles of dissertation:
Walking uphill now these beauties cover another questionable house here:
This next sign is a spoiler of where I'm heading to:
Nature knows the best way to cover the scars humans leave behind:
The road going up is in much worse condition that the one I walked in the previous sub episode but I don't care at all as I'm on my two not so demanding feet:
Besides, I can't complain with the view it offers anyway:
There's a significant amount of rocks waiting to slide down behind those trees:
Pity I can't provide a clearer view than the following - pretty scary to imagine what's gonna happen if (rather when) they all come down:
One more interesting rock formation:
The road continues in its rather awful condition:
But the view is anything but awful:
Suddenly I'm not all alone up here anymore due to this guy:
Such a cutie. Escorted by his old lady. I say hi to both and continue this lonely way up:
At this point I'm given too options: Follow the "scalette" (stairs),
or the crappy tarmac that brought me here:
I guess you can imagine my choice so... here I go:
Not much of stairs right? These look more like it though:
Tired enough? I guess so - let's have some rest here and see you on the next and most interesting part exploring what's on that hilltop!
