We departed Buonconvento but it took us an hour to clear this small town. We had not had time to explore this Medieval town centre and it also happened to be market day. I did consider setting up a wine and cheese stall but instead we bought slacks and a dress for Gail!!
Before we left we took photos of our Agritutismo accommodation inside and out. It was a marvelous set up and great for a long stay with plenty of space and all facilities.
We drove to Monteriggioni a favourite of ours and called in to the place where 6 of us stayed a few years ago. We had lunch in the square and wandered the Medieval town centre .
This is the perfect place to visit! Population about 48 plus lots of day visitors. Next time we will stay overnight again!
We drove on as we had a long drive. We stopped at Certaldo with a great old town centre.
The best thing on a very hot day was that we were able to ride up to the old town on a cable car!
This Medieval wench didn't seem to mind the attention
Driving to Vicopisano we took a few back roads!! Great scenery and very narrow roads
We just had time to settle into our accommodation at Lenzi's when we were taken out for a night on the town. The first stop was the opening of Eno Sophia Wine Bar.
We moved on to a special dinner in one of the small local villages. We think that everyone in the village was there,
We were seated in the centre of the table. It was a fun night.
We finished up at a local bar that sells a special digestive based on pine nuts and either galliano or amaretto. We were finished for the night!
