• Day 10 Aquapendente to Radicofani

    May 4, 2025 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    Overcast day today an in the colder side I think due to the wind and I’m up an exposed hill. Today’s walk was going to be 800m total elevation with the last rise 600m. As I was huffing and puffing up the big hill at the end a car stopped and asked if I wanted a ride the rest of the way, I’m not proud so I said Si, per favore . 2km climbing mt Everest avoided. This allowed me to dump my 9kg backpack and take a walk up to Fortezza di Radicofani, a further 250m up the hill. It was built stating 100AD and finally finished in around 400AD.
    Dunch (dinner and lunch) was a plate of porchetta and pane with cafe con latte. I darent ask for a cappuccino after 12.
    A focaccia con porchetta to go for lunch tomorrow on the road.
    I am now in Tuscany having passed the Lazio border today.
