Rainy day bike ride 30 km to volte era

After sleeping for 10 hours, ash and I motivated to get up and get outside to bike in the rain. 

We had our yogurt and cured meat for breakfast and said goodbye to Magdalena, our mother nun for the night. 

As she watched us get our bikes ready to go, she continued to be surprised by our will to bike up and down the hills in the area. What better expression than "mama Mia" from our friend, the nun. 

I was sure that we did more climbing and more kilometers than the bike computer is willing to admit. We aspired to go 90 kms and instead, finished our day doing 30 kms. Cold wet feet were my reason for stopping and ash felt the same. 

Happy to relax and stay in volterra we shopped for a place to stay for the night. Prices were high in this little town and the seminary appeared closed. Well, maybe the monks were off praying somewhere. It is Sunday, after all.
