Thursday not really Doors 16/3/23: Capalbio Scalo

Previous week I showed you our train station and once I was there, I took the long way home. It lasted an hour to reach it. I wish to show you my walk, no matter that there were not many doors to speak of.

But first: Take the fibre, they said. It will be fast, they said. And lo, for real. Look at this improvement! The first photo shows our old internet speed, the second photo new.

Downloads will now be 700 times faster! 😮 And uploads almost 300 times. I already noticed it when I uploaded my photos. It was done in the blink of an eye.

Do you know how fast your internet connection is? Take a test at speedtest.net. I just took it again and download is even faster, Mbps 895.79!

Let’s return now to the previous Sunday when I put amore on the train and then walked with bestia out the train station’s back exit through our beautiful green countryside. Doors are where you see them. And look, there are daffodils! And even a lizard.

The panda symbol on the World Wide Fund sign caused a hilarious conversation when I first arrived here and was walking bestia behind the station. A man of unclear origin and language with a map folded out approached me and told me he had just gotten off the train and had no idea where he was. I showed him Capalbio on the map. Then he noticed the WWF panda sign and asked in all seriousness: “Are there bears here?”

• 

  Bestia is making sure there are no bears near.

• 

  Good, no bears. Not many doors either.

• 

  Just the green valley of my surprising new home (well, it’s been ten years).

• 

  Lake Burano with the sea behind those green bushes and some feathery visitors.

• 

  A door! I wondered why this tree is so special but then I noticed there was a whole row of them.

• 

  A train door!

• 

  Bestia wanted to explore but we weren’t invited.

• 

  Yes to panda, no to drones.

• 

  A door for the eyes.

• 

  This gate doesn’t let us in either. We continued to the right.

• 

  The sign shows the way to the official entrance to the lake. Last year they started to charge a fee.

• 

  Many eucalyptus doors. (You need imagination.)

• 

  A canal door.

• 

  I have never seen wild daffodils before (at least not here).

• 

  The under-track door. I need to pretend to be a car. No people lane.

• 

  There really can be as much water here to prevent passage. The topmost mark shows 1.50 meters (I’m 1.70 m tall).

• 

  This means we are near home. This property is on sale if you wish to be my neighbour.

• 

  The Hitachi gate is not very sturdy.

• 

  The Hitachi was there for this: They decided to enlarge our bridge! How kind.

• 

  This little fellow decided it was spring.

• 

  And this is our next door neighbour.
