We left the quaint little town of Torgiano and headed to San Gimgnano, the town with the towers. But before we left, we thought we catch a quick selfie by the grapes.
It took a few hours to arrive and then we walked up a long hill. For those who have been to Italy, you know everything is built on a hill. :-) In the piazza was this tower. It was 250 steps to the top.
Mitch and I climbed to the top for the view. It was a bit of a hike and quite warm inside even though it was only about 82 outside. Then we waited at the top because it was quite busy. They normally allowed 15 minutes up on top but today were asking people to limit it to 5 minutes because of the line. The view was great!
I think i got some good shots with my DSLR and wide angle lens which we'll have to wait and see after we get home. We had a wonderful slice of pizza and some gelato in the piazza. And then had a beer as we walked back to the bus to leave. Perfect!
On our way to our hotel in Viareggio, we went through Pisa and drove by the leaning tower. The tour guide explained why we they don't stop there. I guess you can't do everything in one trip.
We arrived in Viareggio to our hotel and a seaside comminuty of hotels and shops.
The four of us walked along the shops for several blocks and then back along the water to the hotel for dinner.
Tomorrow we're hopefully taking a boat to Cinque Terre which will be a highlight for me. But if its too wavy, we'll be taking the train. :-( After that, we head to Florence for 3 nights. Until then... Ciao!
