We did a stop in the medieval city of Lucca - neat place to see. Next off to the leaning tower of Pisa - the tower and the outside of the church are the highlights of that town -(in the field of miracles) glad we did not stay long there.
We are now in Siena - they really did go uphill both ways to school! Hills everywhere in Tuscany and a castle or villa at the top of everyone. Siena id the best of them all - former rival of Florence and they have the neatest streets - though a but hard to figure out how to get from place to place.
We are staying just outside the walls and thankfully they have 6 escalators near the porta we enter through - saves a lot of climbing!
Hey - when you get to Venice, make sure you find the Ponte dei Sospiri (The Bridge of Sighs).
