• Hunting thermal pools

    12 Ogos 2024, Itali ⋅ ⛅ 35 °C

    Today we decided to go back to the thermal pools outside of town but it was super packed. Kavni had called a sick day. I locked her in, don't worry she has access to the patio.
    Well, I'd heard of another pool not too far away. Thought let's check it out and if it's worth our time we'll stay! We didn't anticipate being gone too long. Lesson...everything takes longer in the mountains. My average speed was 35k/hr.
    GPS got us there by climbing up and down maybe 3 mountains...steep climbs and decents! Infact an hour into our 90min trip I was seriously considering if we should continue or turn back...but I just got up the last climb...I was not interested in going down til my nerves calmed down! So we continued and as luck would have it we started seeing civilization and flatter roads.
    Bagni San Filippo is beautiful! Different from Saturnia. Seemed like a long walk down, again not looking forward to the walk out. But atleast there were no stairs. The water wasn't really hot but still refreshing.
    Return trip I knew we had to find a different route, but we realized that Yashi's phone was at 3% and wouldn't last. So I used my phone and we went in a few circles but the drive was perfect, rolling hills, wide-ish roads.
    Infact, we approached Saturnia pools from the opposite mountain and got a great view of the pools.
    Made dinner at home again and then went out for gelato...I had melon flavor. Very good!
