P.S.

I almost forgot to mention that during our hike up to Casetllo di Vezio, once we realized that we had missed the main road, we tried stopping a few cars to ask them which switchback housed the cut through foot path. After about six cars passed us, one finally stopped with an older Italian couple. Once they mumbled some Italian to us that I semi understood, they offered to drive us up the road to the path. With the thought half-baked, we hopped right in. Luckily they didn't kidnap us or steal our money like the stories you hear, much less did they look capable of even turning around in their seats, but truth be told, we hitch hiked in Italy.

That's one for the books.
