An extremely hilly day to Volterra, with 2 massive climbs making the 39km seem like much, much more. Fortunately the scenery along the way kept the pain down, for most(?). A pleasant lunch in the middle also broke things up, as much as the hills broke us up. But in the end we struggled into the high hill town of Volterra and there were still many smiles around. Volterra is a beautifully situated tourist town, and we could even see the Mediterranean from the town's walls, shimmering 50km away in the setting Sun. We stayed in a seminary last night, very quiet and peaceful.
