Stage 24: Aulla to Sarzana. I see the sea. (Part 1)

Two very long climbs through woods today;
the first out of Aulla, up to Bibola, perched on top of a hill. It was only 8.30 when I reached it, but I was already streaming with sweat. On towards Vecchietto, aware that another, longer climb awaited me. Was it that hill, I wondered?
Despite the arduous climbs, there were some gorgeous views.
Then into the crumbling charm of Vecchietto, 
followed by a 3km gruelling climb, mercifully in woods, before the crossroads of Quattro Strade, where many trails meet, and finally the trend was downhill for the next 10km.
