I didn't see any pilgrims today, but I did meet a lovely couple from the Sunshine Coast who have cycled from Amsterdam - final destination: Rome (they will be there now).

It was fantastic, the trees were brilliant, there were both Etruscan and Roman archaeological sites and, maybe because it is Monday, I had the place to myself - what a gift. P.S. I saw a murder of crows this afternoon and tried to get a photo - but, of course, they all flew off as soon as I raised my phone to take the shot.Read more
