so today we walked along beneath the 666 porticos to the basilica of the BVM di san luca - and down again. But really more in the footsteps of John Grisham than that other book...
There was a beggar at the top and we were so impressed at his athleticism and enterprise we gave him all our small coins (not much, it has to be said).
Immediately after that I found a handy lighter and sighted a particularly lovely looking pigeon.
Karma? Maybe...
Also, on our way back down the via san luca, which is considerably more relaxing than the journey up, we decided to scrap Assisi and stay longer in Florence. That means fewer journeys with luggage and more chances to enjoy day trips.
This further led to a complete change of accommodation in Florence - another apartment, of which we've become very fond - living in apartments, that is
So much excitement - and all as a result of our small pilgrims' journey up the hill. And, all before lunch. Which might be somewhat indulgent given that we've knocked off at least 8kms so far today.
