Italian Adventures: Sunning it up in San Gimignano
The drive went quickly and we soon arrived into even more breathtaking scenery than from where we'd come - it was a bit more like the adverts for visiting Tuscany that you see. Some of the most stunning landscapes I've ever witnessed - miles and miles of rolling countryside interspersed with cyrpus lined avenues, vineyards and olive groves. Faded terracotta houses nestled in amongst valleys and perched atop hillsides sitting like little gems on a rockface.
Once we managed to pull ourselves away from that dusty lay-by on the side of the road where time stopped while we stood in awe of the landscape, we headed into San Gimignano to park up and explore the walled town.
No idea what's caught my attention here - I can only assume one of the many shops that flanked the cobbled street on the way to the main piazza. I'm watching something pretty intently!
After documenting the evidence of Paul actually wearing shorts out in public, we ambled up to a pizzeria at the top of the central piazza, where we sipped beer under the shade of a large parasol.
As the afternoon drew on, we decided to head back to rest before dinner. On the journey home I suddenly yelled 'STOP!' because I'd finally found that postcard picture that was Tuscany.
Bianca had to have her moment too, of course...
We then got changed and popped into town for our anniversary dinner - these are the only two photos we took but we had a lovely evening!
Pouring wine as always...
