Florence in the rain

Since leaving the coast on 2nd of May we have 'enjoyed' 5 days of wet weather. Rain, thunder and heavy showers with the odd sunny spell and the UK basks in sunshine! However we have been doing culture this week so it did not really cramp our style. Siena was a little gem of an old town with super doumo and huge campo. Florence is just wall to wall 'art and history' from Galileo's grave to Michel Angelo's 'David' (amazing!) and needs a month to do it justice - we did a couple of days! Good place for a future weekend break. In between Chianti is a beatiful landscape of hilltop towns, sweeping green hills and the trademark fir trees. The wine museum in Greve was a real treat, we even sampled some £50 bottle wines. We are leaving today to go to Umbria and the sun is shining again. A few days chilling out around Lake Transimeno then to Assisi and thats as far south as we will go I expect.
