Tuscany - Day 13
September 17, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C
Had a very chilled day today not venturing far from our Agriturismo (like a farm stay). Did some washing in a little town near by then checked out a Polenta festival that was happening in the local village over the weekend. Spent the rest of the afternoon by the pool - was bliss! Added some photos of roads & footpaths in Italy. They are shit & they make our roads at home look really good.Read more

Day 16
Umbria - Day 16
September 20, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C
Today we planned to go to Cortona the town where 'Under the Tuscan Sun' movie was set. We got there early but still no parks & couldn't face another crowded town so headed to Perugia instead which is the capital of Umbria (neighbouring state to Tuscany) . Great decision, browsed around the main part of town, very chilled, not too many people & had lunch at a little street food place - great find. Then headed to a wine & olive oil tasting which was in a lovely valley off the beaten track. Great way to finish the day, especially the dessert we decided to add on to the tasting😀. Packing tonight ready to head to Rome tomorrow.Read more

Day 11
Florence - Art/History
September 15, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
We arrived in Florence after an interesting train experience where we missed the train & jumped on another (different coy) but didn't have tickets for it. Wasn't a very relaxing trip wondering if we'd get kicked off or have to pay twice but we made it. Florence was mind-blowing & beautiful with all the history, Sian took me to the Ponte Vecchio (bridge with the houses on it) & we wandered through the city. We went to see the David statue this morning & then walked up the Duomo which is gives an amazing view . Over 450 steps but well worth it. It's way busier than Bologna & there is leather shops/markets EVERYWHERE.Read more

Day 11
Florence - food
September 15, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
On our first day in Florence we went to the market & had pizza, it's the best pizza I've ever eaten, we saw them make it & cooked in wood fire oven. Then we had dinner at a Osterio ( Italian eating place) you can't get in there without booking, & you have to ring no online bookings. So we got the Italian lady we stayed with to book it. Best meal yet & a great way to celebrate Sian's birthday. For those interested I had a Caprice salad, pasta with a tomato sauce & cheese called burrato, (sounds basic but can't explain how good it was) then tiramisu (of course) Some other random photos here tooRead more

Tuscany - Day 14
September 18, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C
Today we headed off for a cooking class & lunch in the Tuscany hills. We got stuck in traffic due to accident on motorway so we're an hour late but still got there for most of it. Then we went to San Gimignano a little hilltop village everyone raves about. It was lovely but super packed & very touristy so was good to leave there & head to Siena which was beautiful & so worth the trip. We got there late afternoon, it wasn't too hot & not too many people. In the main square (Piazza Del Campo) they do horse racing twice a year which would be amazing to see as it's not that big! Part of Siena is surrounded by a massive stone wall that was used as a fortress to defend it against conflicts with Florence in the 1500's. Had my first drive on right hand side of road tonight & we lived to tell the story so that was a bonus😍Read more
Traveler Sienna one of my favourite places in the world, glad you got to go.

Tuscany - Day 15
September 19, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
We started our day with a truffle hunt. The owner of our accommodation took us out to search for black truffles with his truffle dog. It was getting a bit late in the season but we found at least 8 so that was pretty cool. The dog was very clever! Then after a coffee at local village cafe (cheapest coffee yet at 1.50 euro) we headed to Arezzo, local city. Had a look around the old part of town, did museum & a couple of cathedrals & of course daily gelato. Pizza for lunch today. Tried to find Prada outlet shop but unfortunately wrong town! Then we headed back for late afternoon swim & siesta by the pool.Read more
