Piagge – day 16

17 Jun

Piagge is hardly a place, but it’s purely a bit** to get to from our start in Pitigliano. 33 degree heat, 2 flat tires, questionable GPS navigation that put us on washed out roads, running close to zero water and having to beg for same at homes along the route, 60km, 9 hrs of cycling and 1388m of ascent. Absolutely spectacular scenery. Such was the adventure today. When we finally arrived at our destination it was a relief.

Since our B&B turned out to be only a B it doesn't get a great rating from us. Here we are foraging for breakfast.

Hot and dry all day.

The GPS led us down closed roads so I played at gatekeeper.
