Donna, Alma and Halldora in the woods

Day two: Pontassieve to Consuma: 17.8 km (10.7 miles)

A deceptively challenging day. First half up and up through vineyards. Second half up and up through shady forests. In between a delightful visit to the Santa Maria di Ferrano art colony. All our pilgrims did very well.
