Volterra Hike

After wandering the town I had had another hike planned, but again it was one that you should only do if it hasn’t rained recently and it has so I found a walk through the countryside around Volterra hike and since we’ve enjoyed the other ones so much decided to do that one. Only…it wasn’t very nice. Most of the hike was on a paved road with cars going by fairly often and no views as there were too many trees and things in the way. It was a long one too so I was like this was kind of a waste, but now we know. Towards the end of the hike we did find some Necropoli Etruscan tombs! There were two big ones and they were pitch black inside so we used our phone lights to see, which didn’t help that much so they were pretty spooky. As we were leaving someone else was going in and we said you need a flashlight and he was like really? I was here last week and there were lights that came on and lit everything up! So no clue why they were off today, but it was fun exploring them in the dark!

Then back home where it was still nice out and we relaxed outside after dinner. Oh, one other thing - we found a radio station that plays mostly good music (which for some reason is hard to find as they all play like all genres so they might play a couple things I like then a bunch of stuff I can’t stand) and they have a jingle they play after saying the station name and I kept hearing them say “very normal people” as the jingle, but I was like it is in Italian so it must be something else that just sounds like that. So I looked it up today and their slogan is “Very normal people!” That is what they are saying which is a strange thing for them to say all the time. I love it. Tomorrow we head on to our next stop!Read more
