We left Saturday at 8 and took a bus to Siena. We visited many churches and had some free time to explore the town and to of course, take pictures! After Siena, we got back on the bus and went to Arezzo. We checked into the hotel and ate dinner as a group (It was funny because the hotel gave us french fries, must've known the American students were coming). The next morning, we took a tour through Arezzo and stopped at some more churches and saw many frescoes.
Later that night we left to go to the Castle of Trebbio. At the castle, we were given a tour and then went....WINE TASTING. We had appetizers and then all ate dinner as a group. Then we headed toward their store, where everyone bought olive oil and wine to bring home to their families. When we got back to the hotel, everyone was exhausted. The next morning we checked out of the hotel and drove back, stopping in two very small towns (Pienza and Orvieto). Both towns were very quaint but had great views! It was so interesting to see how the people in the country live versus the busy streets in Rome.
I couldn't have asked for a better trip. The food, the views and the weather were all so great. Mi piace Tuscany!
Wow! What an amazing view!!! It's cool that you're getting to travel to different areas. Oh, and how was the wine tasting? Is it different from wines and such back home? I might go to one while I'm in Australia.
