Day 35: San Gimignano to Monteriggioni

Tuscany continues to deliver. A long and rather warm walk today (32.85 km). This section is touted as one of the best of the VF, and overall, it was very pretty.

A very young pilgrim, Louis, who I'd encounter a few days ago, from Switzerland, spoke to me today to let me know how impressed he was with me walking at my age (LOL), he's a darling young thing so I couldn't take offence. I also saw another eight pilgrims on the Way and heaps of bikes participating in the " Tuscany Tour" and had breakfast with two bike pilgrims who will be in Rome in no time at all.Read more
