San Gimignano - 18th to 20th of April 2008

Three trains and a bus from Lucca lies San Gimignano, approximately 2 hours to the south, but in the heart of Tuscany. San Gimignano was a medieval town known for its towers. Of the original 72, only 13 towers remain. You can imagine how we were took by the place when we walked in the city gates as Ang is below.

It is also fully walled so we once again we did what we are fast falling in love with and explored the city walls, this time by foot.

San Gimignano is a small place, and we had two nights there, so we had a chance for a bit of R&R after several days on the go. By now we were head over heals with Tuscany and just enjoyed the view from this hilltop village.

On our way south on leaving San Gimignano we stopped in at Siena (about 90 minutes later). It really was just a stopover and we only had a short time there. We managed to check out the piazza and had just enough time for Ang to climb the tower while Warren watched the bags.
