Looking for spring in Tuscany

Day 4 - Tuesday, 236 km round trip to Massa Maritima

Tuesday morning the sun was shining down at our hotel.



At breakfast, we planned the tour for today using basecamp at my notebook. We got some hints from our host the evening before and decided, that we wanted to visit San Gimignano, Volterra and Massa Maritima. In between we looked for winding back roads to explore the country side.

We loaded the route down to our Garmin, geared up and off we were.

The curves began to wind right away when we went down to Poggibonsi, where we fueled up. Then we found our way to San Gimignano, where we parked our bikes outside the city walls.



We had a walk thru the village. The streets and places were already quite crowded by tourist. How must that be in summer time during season?







Then we followed the beautiful country roads to Volterra. By the way, the was basically no traffic at the road and we really enjoyed letting it go.

Here we parked our bikes at the entry to Volterra.







Next stop was in Massa Maritima, where we had a coffee at the plaza. We rode and rode and didn't get tired to catch up those small roads without straight stretches longer than 100 meter.

Finally we were back just before sun set at our hotel, took a shower and looked out for dinner.

Nice day!
