To Siena

Monteriggioni to Siena, 22km, cool and misty until noon-ish and then sunny and warm the rest of the day.

It was a great walk. Oh so beautiful. We walked on a variety of paths from country roads, to secondary highways, to paths through woods.

Started with a climb up to Castello Monteriggioni.
Colorful shop selling leather footwear.
Church in the Castello.
Looking back at Monteriggioni in the mist.
Such beautifully colored funghi.
Another castle in the mist.
Probably some kind of ant-we see these everywhere.
Came across a very welcome rest spot….by donation.
Other modes of transport…
These two have walked all the way from the French Alps!!
Love the pinpoint trees.
Fall is coming…
Siena in our sights…
Last part of the walk into Siena.

At times, it was a bit of a struggle for Mike, especially the last 5 km. Stopped at a “Tabache” shop (kind of like our 7-11 but way smaller), and bought Mike a Powerade. A short while later, he was “good as new!”

Siena is a beautiful city. Too bad we don’t have more time explore here.

One thought

  1. Happy to hear Mike is on the mend. Is it strictly barley and grapes now for happy hour? What a beautiful mystical day you had.
