Absolutely delicious sitting outside people watching. We then headed off for more walking at Pete’s request mind you I am all for the Italian siesta by now. We went into a local art gallery which was fantastic. Tried to tell Pete that they shipped back to Australia but he had turned his selective deafness on by then. After more walking around we made our way to the local PAM (supermarket) which is always an interesting trip in itself to purchase our daily essential items which is of course is vino, salami, vino, bread, more vino and cheese. We then walk home tomeet the girls who are having a lazy afternoon by the pool at our villa overlooking the Tuscan hills. Very hard to take!! Only have time for a 15 minute siesta today as Peter has booked us in for a romantic dinner for four at a restaurant that has been recommended by an Australian tourist we met. Jenny and Peter opted for roasted rabbit (Sandra and I thought we were not up to eating Bugs Bunny). Then wandered home and Jenny and Peter had a bottle of vino rossi on the balcony discussing the full moon on the That was our first mistake!! We loaded up Pete’s backpack with rolls that we made with salami, cheese and tomatoes and decided not to take the wine and glasses as we would get some on the walk. Ha Ha!! First of all it took us three goes to find the walking track we needed, but then we were off doing a lovely walk through the vines and olive groves and up the big hills!! We walked and walked and the first winery was closed, as was the second. Eventually we stopped by a river and had our rolls and would you believe it, water for lunch!! We managed to continue on with much consulting of the map by the navigator and Pete. Nearly had conflict on which way to go but the navigator was determined we were on the right track. www.hysjw.cn Submit Travel Information So on we walked, and walked and walked. Finally we made it onto a real road, and we thought we were just around the corner from home. Oh no how wrong we were!! We continued to walk up the main road, dodging the cars and thinking around the next bend we will see San Gimi. All of a Editor recommends you never take a self guided walk in Tuscan Hills using an Italian map, unless you have had a vino or two (and have a taxi card on hand)!!!! |
