Another day under the Tuscan Sun
Not really. Temperature was cool and lots of heavy downpours. Went into Sienna which is only about 25kms from our cottage.
Found our way there and got a good park, nothing was too dramatic or scary with the drive. Commented on how the Tom Tom never followed the signposts and always seemed to want to lead us somewhere that didn’t quite look right. More on that later.
Sienna was pretty. It’s full of lanes and alleyways and hills up and lanes down. Every little alley with something at the end that looks like it wants to be explored.
we had some really good downpours when we were there and seemed to get trapped by hordes of school children on class excursions, with there umbrellas ready to take your eyes out in the narrow lanes. We literally took refuge in a church and waited it out.
Look at the pic above and you can see the water pouring straight onto the motorbike from the overflowing gutters.
Wandered until my feet hurt. I remember years ago when my daughter was younger and we went to Queenstown and Fiordland for the first time. As we drove to Fiorland every bend in the road revealed a new stunning vista and the relevant oohs and ahhs and wows. On yet another bend her comment was, yep nice but there is only so much beautiful you can take in in a day when it all looks like that. She was right. Medieval Sienna with its treasures, it’s alleys, it’s spires, its light fittings, it’s curved roofs, it’s arched verandas, it’s towers, it’s statues, it’s horse ties, it’s fountains…..that is what it felt like. Oh look another view of spectacularness…..moving right along.
I was going to tell you about our trip home which I alluded to before but have run out of steam so will just say that the 25 kilometre trip home turned into over an hours drive and “turn left onto unmarked, unpaved, road is not a good instruction. Tom Tom let us down badly and from now on I will have google maps as back up.
