Hello From Sienna on the Via Francigena

[sillydoll]

Italy is HOT-HOT-HOT!!!
We have passed a number of Via Francigena signs with arrows pointing in two directions - one to Rome and the other to Santiago! I have taken photos and will post them when I get home.
We are having a really good walk through forests and fields, passing grand castles, medieval villages and settlements. We have done almost 400kms so far and have 300 left to go.
Wish us luck!

Hi, Sil !
Even in Norway is 30 degrees Celcius now, so I can imagine that Italy is VERY hot ! Cool with the signs :lol: , looking forward to se pictures and hopefully hear more about your trip.

Take care, and have a lovely walk further on as well !
