Siena
We arrived by train in Siena early afternoon. We dumped the bags in our hotel room and then set off to find what turned out to be a disappointing lunch, but it was the only meal that was so. Though crowded and busy Siena was charming. We found a few haunts to sit, sip cappuccinos and draw and paint to our hearts content.
Florence
Another train journey, made easier through previous experiences. Our hotel is smack in the middle of the tourist area. Once again we dump the bags in our small hotel room and head out to explore. Much more crowded than Siena there are huge queues for all the exhibitions and museums, but we are happy just wandering and sketching.
