Castiglione della Pescaia

Mum and Dad pick me up from Grosseto train station.

Couldn't go to the airbnb until 2pm so went to Vetulonia for lunchtime. The town was very nice, even if not very big and impressive. All of the museums were shut becuase it was a Monday (should have remembered that for the future). It ended up that the most impressive ruins were right next to where we parked the car (and we walked around for much less impressive things).

Amazing airbnb location with views of the medeterranian sea. We went for a walk along the beach and to the main centre town of castiglione della Pescara.

The town centre was very nice however quite quiet because it is really a town built for the summer season.

The steps leading into town and up to the castle were very steep (which we heard much complaining from mum about).

We also learned that the enormous castle at the top of the hill was privately owned (I need to rethink who I marry)
