Welcome to bella Toscana! We stayed in Siena on Monday for the Duomo, its connected sights and panorama (the top of a huge unfinished arch that was supposed to be part of an add-on nave); on Tuesday we drove northwest to tiny castle-town Monteriggioni and steep Etruscan Volterra. Wednesday involved a trip east to Cortona and Asciano, where we returned on Thursday for their fantastic Etruscan museum after a morning tasting some incredible (but unbelievably expensive) Brunello wines at vineyards near Montalcino. Today we’ve been wandering around Florence, from the Duomo to the Museo Galilei and up to the Accademia to visit Michelangelo’s (unfinished) Prisoners and St Matthew sculptures, and of course the magnificent David. At 10pm we say arrivederci to Italia, get on a night train to Munich and say guten morgen to Deutschland!
