and breakfast in the large (and empty) refectory
I headed out of San Miniato, through a narrow gated tunnel:
and off across quiet Sunday morning roads... Looking out across at the typical Tuscan landscape... After about an hour I was able to leave the roads, and start walking on gravel/ dirt paths... So much nicer on the feet!!
I wended my way up and down through fields of crops and vines, occasionally coming across a dilapidated farmhouse building, in such great isolation!!
A couple of hours walking, and looking back I could still see San Miniato up on the hills behind.
It was hot, but I managed to keep locating water fountains as I went, so was able to drink plenty..
Up through the old hamlets of Montasone and Castelfiorentino, travelling along the hot gravel
Just after 2 pm I arrived at Chianni - Ostello Sigerico, next to the church of Santa Maria, a lovely located church and hostel... I even spent an extra 8€ to get my own room!!
I had a nice afternoon nap, followed by a musical concert in the church, followed by dinner with other pilgrims...
A nice relaxing sort of day... Ready for the week ahead!
