Day 4: Mamma Mia! Train to Siena

Well today has been kind of hectic again, but nothing major. Basically we took the rail to Chiusi to catch a bus to Siena and we missed the bus by literally 20 seconds. So we had to wait an hour and a half for a train to Siena, but I think that was better anyway maybe. We got to read and watch the gorgeous scenery. Tuscany looks exactly like you would think it does. Wineries everywhere!

We got to Siena later than expected and HAD to do laundry. (I brought two pairs of pants, five shirts and five pairs of socks in a backpack for those who don't know). My diva of a husband's backpack, however, is totally packed to the brim with lots of clothes. =)

Siena is so cool. It is a city on a hill with a wall around it. Cute long windy corridors for streets and the most amazing Piazza in the middle. I just had a huge Caramel gelato that rocked my world. SO delicious. I will write more about today later, but we have to get moving. Tomorrow is Florence and we have already decided we should have stayed here more then 18 hours. See you soon!
