Memories of the Via Francigena July 2008
“Yesterday we walked the 28kms from Lucca through unremarkable (but flat) road and countryside. Ripe blackberries provided a welcome distraction from the increasing heat and sore feet.
Leaving La Torre B&B Lucca
Some medical attention
We arrived in Ponte de Cappiano about 4.30 and spent the night in a building over a bridge, designed by the Medicis..our own Ponte Vecchio.
We decided today to spend the day in Florence for a rest day. Tourists galore so we are taking it easy and enjoying all the public art and gardens. Tomorrow on the road again.
Our day in Florence - a short train return trip
We are staying in a hospital chapel tonight in San Minialto run by Misicordiae Hospital, recommended in our guide book.Novel and free.
Dinner at a local trattoria
We have walked about 240 kms, combined with several days’ public transport so far.”
