VIA FRANCIGENA | Day 33
Orbe to Lausanne, 32.3 km
I rushed out of town at the crack of dawn on a 32 km walk through steep forests and flat agricultural fields.
There are water taps everywhere, or so it seems, and the fresh aroma of coffee in the air.
I asked for directions by an overpass and got stunned by stinging nettle for the second time.
It was a beer and a burger for lunch by railroad tracks because why not? I’ve earned it.
I walked on paved bicycle tracks for the majority of the day, village hopping my way to Lausanne. I got my first stamp in Switzerland at the cathedral.
The hotel was on me since I had a credit at hotels.com. I left my clothes drying by the rack and headed out into town.
I finally redeemed myself with a salad for dinner after the blood bath I had for lunch.
