We decided to do a side-trip from our base in Florence today. We chose to visit the medieval city of Siena. It was a 90 minute train ride. When the train pulled into the station, it looked like a normal city. We were both a little disappointed, thinking that the trip wouldn't have been worth it. We took a bus to the city centre and were blown away by the views of old Siena. We found the Duomo, the main piazza, and wandered in and out of some old buildings. Stunning. We also met the very first person on this trip who not only knew where Manitoba is, but where Winkler is too! She spent some years at the CFB Shilo. Small world!
We are both feeling the strain of the blistering heat and busy days. Hard to find the energy to do all of the sightseeing we want to do! We have another busy day planned tomorrow. Going to Pisa to see the tower and then to Cinque Terre to see as many of those gorgeous villages as possible.
