Right, we had a hard day the day before so we decided a day off was in order. Plus, we now get to spend Monday in Rome, and not Sunday, which means we'll have more money. Also watching England game in Rome, awesome.
To sum up the rest day, we did bugger all. Sort of. Rob and I drove to Siena and walked around the town. Amazing. Big place. Up and down the streets went, lots of gift shops, ice cream, wine, cafes, clothes shops etc. we also saw a part of Siena used in Quantum of Solace, which was cool. We ate ice cream and headed to the supermarket to buy mince so I could make burgers. Mmmmm!
The produce departments in Italy are far bigger than any other part of the shops in Italy. In the UK it's the ready meal isle. That's why everyone in Italy looks so healthy and slim. EVERYONE!
Take note Britain!
We had a swim or two during the day. We had to buy these stupid hats or we weren't allowed in the pool. Again, you can smoke at petrol stations, but you have to cover your head when you swim! Go figure!
At 7 we drove back to the spot we got rescued from the day before, as we'd promised. But, when we got there, it turned out Rob didn't bring his front wheel, so I had to cycle it on my own.
Rob fans, he's promised to cycle an extra 15 miles at the end to make amends.
Then, when we both got back to campsite, I found out my iPad had been stolen while we were out. We searched everywhere, but in the end I had to call Orange to get it blocked. Yet another insurance claim.
To sum up Siena. Very traditional, gorgeous. More terracotta roof tops covering the views across the mountains/hills. Amazing.
I'm definitely going to run out of money coming back to all these "must come back to places" over my life.
We ate our burgers, drank two bottles of wine, 2 pints of Peroni, and went to bed.
Asleep by half 12.
Zzzzzz!
