Last day on the bike

All good things must come to an end. After 5 days of riding I am happy to report that I didn't fall once. No crash and burn. No broken bones. No injured bike. Yeah!! This is a very familiar scene in our travels, everyone trying to figure out the map. Of course, we never really looked much at the map until after we were already lost. Better late than never.



After 5 days of riding we came upon our last hotel, Hotel Villa le Piazzole. Looks promising.



Oh my goodness, it was fabulous! This is the beautiful courtyard leading to the main house. If you want to take a look at my room. It was beautiful. Like arriving at a different place in time. Or walking into your very favorite movie ever and discovering it was better than you could have ever imagined.



And this would be the view out my window.



Time to head back into Florence. Time to say good by to the bikes and my sore muscles. And time to say good by to the big yellow van that had my back for my wonderful Tuscan adventure.
