Florence & Sienna

After a great tour of the Uffizi where Caravaggio, Botticelli and Giotto showed
their class, a small subset of the tour group chose the option of an afternoon
in Siena. Siena is a medieval town, one hour drive from Florence. This town was
magnificent as it consisted of narrow streets shadowed by high Tuscan styled
apartment blocks and overbridges. Some sights there were The Duomo (The
Cathedral), the Piazza del Campo with its great bell tower and a special mention
goes to the gelateria which I firmly recommend. Now I know why my dad firmly
recommended me to go as in my opinion Siena is the most beautiful town I have
visited so far. However we are on our way to Venice tomorrow where I finally get
to see where James Bond and the team of the Italian Job have featured in their
epic scenes. Florence has been great for many reason especially its style and
girls. I will miss Florence.
