A stroke of luck

I had been a little worried about our next leg Bologna - Firenze (Florence) to be done early this summer. I somehow didn't seem to be able to find any good information. But then I mentioned our project to my optometrist. And he of all people told me he had done just that the year before, and there's a very nice trail called Sentiero delle degli... there's even a field guide, and he sent me a mail with the order data.

So I can buy that and set on to plan this year's stages. Apparently, it takes only about 7 days to walk the trail, so we'll be able to spend a few days in Florence, too, and discover that quintessentially renaissance town.
