San Sano to Siena

A great easy and long hike to conclude the trip! We chose to walk the entire distance. The “road art” that started at 4.8km (the red and yellow peppers) was both hilarious and thought-provoking. Recommend standing at the telephone boxes (5.5km) to contemplate the meaning. It was a great communication message for a couple! Some thorny brambles at the stream crossing at 10.10km. The vineyard at 10.10 km was adding fencing. It is low enough to step over. At 12.4km we couldn’t find the Sentiero signpost (too much foliage?) but easy to rely on GPS. At 15 km there is also new fence construction but we could get through. We could not find a red and white marker described at House #2 at 18.5km, but there was no alternative except to bear left. So no problem. It was a warm day - take plenty of water. We packed our own lunch and the park was under construction (temporary) at 14.10km. We were forced to go by the Osteria which was open and seemed very pleasant.
