Sienna; giorno due.
Back into Sienna for the Baptistery and Crypt of the Duomo. Hardly worth the cost of the ticket, we did them both in about 20 mins. Leaving us plenty of time to relax (for a City it’s a very relaxing place) soak up the atmosphere in the Campo and people watch. The Museo Civico in the Palazzo Comunnale is a series of grand rooms with enchanting secular frescoes. Great views over the city to the countryside beyond. Lunch at a very smart restaurant just below the Duomo. Delicious contemporary Tuscan cuisine that Andy loved so much he left them his credit card so they could all book holidays with it.
Back in the evening to collect the credit card and Molly came with us to tour the city and join in the passegiata.
This is how Andy relaxes, Honest.
Too hot for hair.
Duomo Interior.
The library.
I did wander if the hair loss was intentional or not or if it was down to pulling out of ones hair when one was having a tiff with ones other half in such close proximity with no rooms to go off to and bang doors!
ReplyDeleteNot another bloody baroque interior - though I think the stripes are rather fetching and make a bit of a change from the normal.
ReplyDeleteBit alarmed to hear about the credit card, but hopefully liberties will not have been taken! (Note to self - check credit card bill!)
I love Fiona's comment about banging doors! Flouncing out of an awning probably just does not have quite the same effect.
