• Today I began my biking adventure. The morning started early – about 7 am and we left to catch a train from Florence to Arezzo. At Arezzo, we collected our bikes and did a 65km cycle down to Passignano sul Trasimeno – a very charming town on the lake situated in Umbria (so it’s goodbye to Tuscany for now). The ride was beautiful and we rode through Cortona, had a picnic lunch on the way then arrived at our hotel around 4pm which is located right on the lake.
• The group are a nice bunch – German’s, Americans (all from New York and Jersey) and a couple of other Aussies. The guides, Mark and Sonia are both German and have been doing the guided tours for 6 years. Mark is a historian ‘by trade’ so there’s plenty to be learnt along the way.
• Tonight we’re all meeting for dinner at 7.30 pm and I think I’ll sleep well!
