Our first impressions of Colle were very positive! Our little apartment is beautiful, we're right in the middle of the "centro storico", and the town is small enough that you can become familiar quickly.
At the tourist info office we learned of a bike and foot trail that connects this town with Poggibonsi, 8 km to the north, on the grade of a former railroad that operated from 1885 to 1987. We packed a lunch and set out on foot Sunday morning. The weather was beautiful and as soon as the sun hit us we were peeling layers off. We saw dozens of walkers and cyclists.

We relaxed for a while in Poggibonsi, eating sandwiches on a park bench followed by coffees in a bar before walking home. Our round trip was an "easy" 16.5 km, being a railroad grade.

Back in Colle, the late afternoon light on the old buildings was beautiful. We know we're lucky to be experiencing this weather, given how it is in the Cariboo this time of year.
