Our third port of call was Livorno. Normally Livorno is the gate way to Florence & Pizza, we’ve been there before, so we decided on a different adventure. We wanted to experience Tuscany, which saw us on a coach heading for Sienna.
Sienna on a map looks pretty much as being in the middle of this classic area of Italy as it’s possible to be. It’s entirely understandable why it is such a popular area. There is no doubt that the iconic cypress trees and gently rolling countryside make for some beautiful scenery.
Of course, you do have to have a love of unremitting hot weather. Now, I don’t mind a bit of hot weather but not all year round, it was lovely to experience, but I wouldn’t want to live there. I wonder if there is a time of year when it’s a bit cooler?
