Installed on a very acceptable campsite in time to catch the bus to explore Florence in the afternoon. The Duomo and all around, the Palazzo Vecchio with all its history and the Ponte Vecchio.

A beautiful walk along a river, with a steep climb through vineyards to reach the highest point, used as a watch point during the war. A seriously steep and skiddy descent and some dismay when itRead more

It's a good thing it stopped raining as we were able to drive out without getting stuck in the muddy ruts that are artfully excluded from the photo. It was only 7 ° c though.

TravelerFerry booked for Oct 1st and should reach Hereford that night x
