Tuscany, Italy (2006)

In May 2006, I `diagnosed' myself with a cycling-fever: time for a cycling holiday! But where and how...?? As it was my first time, I decided to join a group from Cycletours, going to Tuscany (Italy) in June. What happened next, you can find out below...

To blend into nature, we went camping. This is the first night in Montenero. My tent is the grass-green one.

Campeggio Collina, Livorno / Montenero

The real work started on the next day: Stage 1 from Montenero to Vada.

Beach close to Vada

The second stage brought us through vineyards, olive-trees and pretty villages to Marina di Castagneto.

Stage 3: on the way to Campiglia Marittima!

Stage 5: to Marina di Grosseto! Wonderful camping site, next to the beach! But first, a cycling tour passing by Vetulonia and Buriano. Magnificent views on the way~.
