The Tuscany culture trail

By the end of May day (with typical wet bank holiday weather) the locals had disappeared and we were almost alone again on our 'en suite' pitch (fee included private shower room and kitchen with thatched eating area!). But after 5 days it was time to move on to Siena via the rolling hills of Tuscany and stopping at the old hill town of San Gimignano. It has many stone defence towers that stand out on the landscape like medieval sky scrapers. We missed the car parks and ended up in the old town where only locals are allowed to venture - we were quickly directed out again! Not far away is the beautiful city of Siena which has a campsite just outside the city walls. However it was closed, for no apparent reason so Plan B took us into to the hills where we could catch a bus into Siena. It rained heavily in the night and we were under a lot of trees - we moved.
