So this is us Mr and Mrs Summers at the top of the tower, 294 steps up! What a view! We are really enjoying the beautiful countryside - so green - and rolling hills with the roads following the gradient - up and down and up and down and sat nav's tracking showing bend after bend! Trees everywhere - deciduous and olive trees and vines - the Chianti region! The guest house is a 14th century villa set in the countryside overlooking Antella and Florence. Nice big Persian cat to stroke. Hosts are very Italian. We enjoy a continental breakfast in the shaded courtyard.

We spent the day in Pisa exploring the Duoma and Baptistry and the Campo Santo a cemetery for saints and famous people. A wedding had just taken place and the bride and groom paraded in the piazza. This was definitely more public than our own wedding!
