We are up early and off to southern tuscany. The city of San Gimignano is amazing. At one time they had 70 towers, now 14 stand. A city within a wall. Great character and views. We check out a church, some fountains, panoramic views of Tuscany valley lush and green. Quick slice and birra and we are on our way. Rob swears, best pizza yet.
Next stop Certaldo and Vinci. We have some trouble in Certaldo. No driving, steep hills and we are lost. Forget it, lets move on. No stress allowed on vacation.
Vinci, the birthplace of Leonardo. Cool town. Museum, and grounds. What a genius. It is amazing to see all of his inventions. We walk grounds of museum. Chris takes a nap in park. Back to homebase for night. We walk around, write postcards. Rob and Carol do laundry.
We take a trolley up to Monticatini Alto. Amazing views above Monticatini Terme. The trolley that first opened in 1908 last refurbished in 1970. chuga chuga chuga up the steep mountain for dinner. Best meal over all for the team. Great wine from Montipulcino. Train down and to bed.
