Bird's-eye View of the Hermitage, Camaldou Photograph by A Treggia Mrs. Carmichael To face p. 256 EXCURSIONS IN A TREGGIA 257 basket frame capable of seating two people, and comfortably arranged with slanting back and cushions. It is drawn by a pair of the magni- ficent white oxen of Tuscany. No matter how steep or how stony, how crooked or how narrow the path, these patient, sure-footed brutes go steadily and smoothly onwards and upwards until the very pinnacle of your destination is reached. ...And really the treggia glides along with wonder- ful smoothness," and the motion is far from un- pleasant. Coming down is, of course, another matter from the point of view of comfort, but a descent of some 2000 feet in a treggia would assuredly cure the worst liver complaint from which evil liver ever suffered. The road to the Poggio Scali leads us first up the path to the hermitage, through the dense and dark pine-forests which afford cool shelter even from the fierce August sun of Italy. Here we dawdle, never weary of watching the teams of oxen dragging up the pine-trees which have been felled in the valleys below.
