A smooth ride

Today we headed from Nice to Siena, in the heart of Tuscany, to spend a few days checking out the countryside, vineyards, hills, and the quaint towns perched high upon them. To get there from Nice, however, was a journey that required changes and brief layovers in in Genoa, Pisa, and Empoli. Luckily, we managed to hit all of our connections and all trains were clean, on time and reasonaby comfortable. We watched as coastline became countryside and we wizzed past marble quarries, fields and estates.

Once in Siena, we met up with Alex and Darsh, who had arrived in Milan a day before and were spending 12 days driving around Tuscany, and with whom we were to spend the next couple of days. After an evening meal in Piazza del Campo, we headed out to our accomodation in Colonna del Grillo, Castelnuovo B.ga.
