My Actifit RC: August 14th 23 - A long walk in search of the castle that is not there - IAAC 433

A dear greeting to all lovers of physical activities that populate the mythical community of Actifit.

This weekday Monday straddles two public holidays, namely Sunday and Assumption Day, which in Italy is a national holiday. In this way it becomes festive for most workers who use it to apply for the day of contractual leave.

Just finished bathing in the sea and the shower on the ceiling I walk to visit the village of Castel Volturno because I had never been there and I started exploring on foot since it is only 2 km and a half from my sister’s seaside villa.

The route to find the city was facilitated by the presence of a bike path that showed me the road that took me to the outskirts of the village.

The first impression was to be ahead of a characteristic post-medieval village undergoing heavy renovation.

The churches and chapels were all closed so I can only bring back the photos of the outside maybe another time we will see them inside.

In the square there is this wonderful church dell'Annunziata of the fifteenth century whose facade was rebuilt in the seventeenth century.

The church seems interesting and of remarkable beauty is its entrance door of the fifteenth century.

My goal of the day is the castle that I imagined to be of a certain beauty or importance since the city bears its name.

When I got to the mouth of the river, since I couldn’t find it, I tried to ask a family of ducks if they could point it out to me. Keeping my distance, they asked me how I didn’t see it.

In fact, it was just behind the back of my head, only that, having the appearance of a ruin, and being in backlight, I could not distinguish it.

The castle was part of a gigantic complex that also included a bridge crossing the Volturno River near its mouth.

My journey along the river finally ended in a water scooter rental among the vegetation on the left bank of the river.

Near the wall of the construction site on the river Volturno there was a staircase that should have been closed but there was a hole from which you could slip directly into the village square at the town hall in front of the church dell'Annunziata.

The return trip was rather boring and under the sun of the hottest hours of the pleasant summer day but, fortunately, he was cheered by this magnificent specimen of egret.

He was at peace doing his services and he didn’t seem so happy with me being there or being on camera.

In the end I managed to film it in a funny photo in which I immortalized it while trying to escape from the deadly lens of my smartphone.

After a very long walk and when it was still a long time to return to the house, in front of the large pine forest clinic, I can get a ride from my sister who had gone shopping.

After a long afternoon spent with the family for lunch and in the pool to cool off during the hottest hours I went down to the beach among groups of young people who prepared the classic bonfire of the night of the Assumption.

I stayed to write the lines of the #iamalivechallenge yesterday until the arrival of the sunset colors that inspired my thoughts that I transmit daily for almost a year and a half.

In these magical moments you can celebrate beautifully my stage number 433 of my personal #iamalivechallenge ready to spend a Alive evening in the company of a cheerful band of young people.

To close my memories of today I leave you in the company of the sun that goes to set behind one of the pontine islands in a breathtaking scenery.

Finally, I would like to thank all my friends from the tribe of #Alive and all the new friends who happened between the lines of my stories for reading my thoughts and see you at the next #actifit report.
