Safe trail ends. Dangerous part starts. | Day 10 of Via Francigena from Monteriggioni to Siena
It was the 10th day of Via Francigena trail when we hiked around 17 kms from the town Monteriggioni to the city Siena. The morning started very early for us at 5.30am because we wanted to hike the most of the distance as early as possible. The weather was promising another crazy hot day and we didn’t want to be stroke by a heat wave. At night we didn’t sleep that well and we think we found the reason why it happened the last couple of days. It was because of the hot temperature even during the night it was not less than 20 degrees and no wind at all…

Discovery of Million Year old Shells in the fields of Tuscany, Italy | Day 9 of Via Francigena to Monteriggioni
It was the 9th day of Via Francigena trail when we hiked around 20 kms from the village Quartaia to Monteriggioni. That night we didn’t sleep very well because of some deers coming to visit us at night and also the sounds they were making. So we felt sleepy all day long then. But fortunately no people had disturbed us there. At that campsite in the field we have found some curious things – lots and lots of shells big and small ones, some of them were just lying on the ground some built and engraved into rocks. It almost felt like we are at the bottom of the ocean…
