We left our hostel in Florence at about 8 this morning and got to our bed and breakfast at about 12 today which was good! We got to the train station and thought it would only be a 10 minute walk because that's what our directions said, it ended up being a 30 minute or so walk all up steep hills! Once we got here we checked in and booked a wine tour of tuscany which included seeing small towns ( San Gimignano) and medieval castles. We tried 80 year old balsamic vinegarette, dessert vinaigrette, olive oil, honey, cheese and of course wine. It was all so good! Never thought I would like balsamic on ice cream but it was amazing, I even bought some!
After that which eneded at about 7 we came back and went all around the sites in Siena, even though they were closed, so we could see it. The main piazo had a chocolate fair going on so we loved lookin at that! It was a great day to go!!
Wasn't hungry for dinner so we just snacked some! But today we had ice cream at the world famous gelato place in one of the small cities!
Siena was amazing!
