Another Detour Bike Travel - Italy Travel Writing and Photos by Leigh Pate - April 30, 2014September 3, 2015 How fortunate to miss the train in Siena! Today we biked to the town of San Gimignano. Nosed around a few hours and rode toward the town of Certaldo. Which was only a train station on the map. But riding into town Certaldo turned out to be a perfect Tuscan hill town perched on a hill with walls and a castle. So tempting. So we found the old mid-evil cobblestone path and hiked up to explore till it’s time to catch the last train to Lucca. Which we won’t miss this time. Really. And now I am sitting in a cafe fortifying before exploring this gorgeous town I’d never heard about before. And the not knowing makes it so much better. 43.54922411.045022 Share on Facebook Share Share on TwitterTweet Send email Mail
