Viva Italia!

[albal]

We actually came through San Miniato today, but to be honest I barely noticed. It was a toughie. The weather's been - I have to say mercifully - overcast all day. Full sun added to 80+ k's and two and a half of elevation and I think I would have keeled over and given up the ghost.

We're by-passing Sienna, along with all the other cities. The traffic makes them challenging, to say the least, and the accommodation beats our budget. It's a shame, but you can't have everything.

Heading for the east coast. Looking forward to another swim in the sea!

These Italians will do anything to keep their bike safe. 😉

We stayed in san miniato on the ride north from Sicily in May. View from the city.

There was also a spooky cat in the little church just off the square...
