Once again time to move on. Viareggio was a short stop, our true destination for this part of the trip was Pisa. Not finding a hotel we liked in Pisa we expanded the stay area a little and ended up in Viareggio. All were unhappy to go, a sign of a good night.
The Tower of Pisa was one of Syd’s requests own this trip and unlike in the past we went to the top this time. An odd walk, your balance had to shift depending on where you were on the stairs.
After Pisa it was off to our next destination, Siena. As usual the Garmin Navigation unit gave us multiple ways from Pisa to Siena, we selected the shortest and we had to wonder what it was thinking… Did not seem the shortest, certainly the most adventurous thru the Tuscan countryside!
Siena reminded us why we like it and it is even better on a warm Friday night, the vibe in Piazza del Campo about drove Sydney out of her curly headed skull. Lots of energy, people were launching paper hot air balloons, very elegant and exciting for all to see. Codes in the USA would never allow that to happen!
Yes Sydney, it is really that tilted…
A classic.
