Took a drive into Siena today. It's an amazing place with the old facades maintained by tucking away all the shops and bars behind the old walls. Limited access is available to cars, so you have to park at a parking station and hoof it from there! The photo is of the main piazza in Siena which dates back to the mid 12th century!!! Spent about 6 hours walking around and checking out the sights. We had haircuts too, which was interesting! At least we don't look too frightening! Fascinating place. We are now back in our villa with much supplies ready for our Tuscan BBQ for dinner. Strangely we haven't succumbed to the traditional Tuscan fare of tripe sandwiches!!!!! Met some lovely Belgian people, staying at a neighboring villa, who brought us dinner last night after they had cooked their BBQ!!!! That was a lovely surprise! We will drive North tomorrow, probably to Florence. I am studying a new phrase book, so hopefully will be a better communicator tomorrow. At least today I learnt how to ask for directions to the ATM!!!!
Buona sera. Xx
