15 kms walked today
147.7 walked so far
If you looked on maps you would see that this can't be walked in one day day ( except by Oxfam veterans of course).
The answer is that we needed one more day than we had and so we caught a taxi the 30 odd Kilometers to Ponte Cappiano for the start of our walk to San Miniato.
This was a good move as we were still exhausted from our walk to Lucca and a short day, missing flat semi rural land cross crossed with motorways, was just the trick.
The walk from Ponte Cappiano was peaceful and interesting. At first we walked along irrigation canal embankments and through farmland.
They grow wheat or barley, corn, grapes and olives. We then walked through San Miniato Basso (at the base of) an affluent suburb with stone and wrought iron gates and fences and everything tiled. Italians love tiles!!!
