I have just been to Italy on a biking tour around the region called Tuscany. Loads of amazing sculptures, their local stone is Alabasta which is like a soft rock, it felt very soft to the touch in the sense of texture and density. They made a scale model of the tower of Pisa out of it, which was beautiful.
Favourite part was having swallows nest inside the restaurant of one of the hotels as well as another nest in the bike shed. They left the window open allowing the parents to get to and from the nest as they pleased to feed their chicks, which they did very often!
Bum hurt, but not too badly, I fell off my bike, got burnt, have a really uneven tan, left an awesome looking rock in the hotel room that I was going to add to my interesting rock collection. Food was delicious and everyone there was so lovely. This is a ramble, just a sort of thought putter downer. Nothing too interesting it was just a really lovely, relaxed, well fed, well exercised and well rested holiday :) xxx
