Off we go towards Tuscany

The night at the winery was quiet, but I didn't sleep very well. Maybe it was because there was a rustling noise in the field behind us or there was a bang in the middle of the night, so our mosquito bite healer thought it was going to fall out of its holder.

At breakfast we decided that we wouldn't go to Florence, we'd do that another time. We were going to San Gimilano and since that wasn't far from the winery from last year, we immediately wrote an email and asked if there was anything available and lo and behold, we were allowed to come.

But first we had to get over this mountain range and that naively showed that it would take more than 3 hours to cover 150 km. We had reached an altitude of almost 1000 meters and quickly ended up on a diversion road. I felt like I was on a rollercoaster, up and then steeply down again.

At some point the weather was bad, but then the motorway was in sight. Finally the motorway and we could drive a few meters. There we had to get used to the Italian driving style again. But that wasn't the problem - a Greek bus tried to push us off the road. But everything went well.

After that we were back on a route we knew towards Siena and wanted to visit San Gimilano, the city of twin towers. Finding a parking space was a mess. We then found a parking space a little outside and took the city bus into the city. The high walls, the small alleys and the view were simply wonderful. At around three we then drove towards Monti to end the evening in the beautiful winery with the delicious rose wine, which I had already missed.

We already have a plan for tomorrow and, above all, a place for two days by the sea. The pitches are a bit more expensive this year but they are also fantastically beautiful.
