328.8 walked so far
We have another suicide day (32kms) and so are taking drastic steps. The tourist information man is on the roof. His booth is shut because his internet is broken.
The bus to somewhere takes 4hrs via other places. We are sitting at the Bar watching. Wife and child waiting outside. Father (our saviour) holding the ladder.
We are sitting at the Bar watching this family effort and wondering what to do.
When he makes the mistake of comming down and opening his booth to test his new antennae, Clare pounces!!
5 minutes later Clare returns to her beer proudly announcing that the father will drive us to a junction at the bottom of the mountain at 7am the next morning.
Isn't she wonderful!
We have a cottage in Radicofani which is wonderful. For breakfast we buy oat flakes and blueberry yoghurt. We are a little over coissants.
The town is off the main tourist circuit but very charming, and full of cyclists doing long distance tours.
With a ten kilometers headstart we make it to our hotel about 2pm after a very pleasant day on quiet roads mostly in shade. The countryside is beautiful.
At about 12.30 the first French woman , Marie, overtook us. She had left at 7.05 with no 10 kilometers lift. Amazing!
2 more blisters
Still smiling
