We started today off with an early coach trip to Siena where we walked through the picturesque streets to the Siena Duomo. It shares some common features with Florence's Duomo but also many differences which were nice to compare. We had some time to sketch inside the Duomo before heading into the Piazza del Campo where we found lunch and had some time for shopping. After a short walk back to the coach, we drove on again to San Gimignano.
The sun came out as we arrived in San Ginignano where we were free to wander and submerse ourselves in the village.
It was a buzzing tourist destination in the centre so we found time to walk to the outskirts where we could enjoy beautiful views of the Tuscan country side. We had some time for ice cream from the winner of Tuscanys best ice cream and headed back to the coach one again.
There was no singing on the coach on the way back to Florence because everyone was so tired from our busy day. We had a late tea at La Republica restaurant and packed before getting an early night.
