Latest Weekend Tour

This weekend i decided that we should travel to the ancient city of Siena, I have been asked by so many locals if I have been that I thought I have to go and see what it is like. I knew it was about 200 Kms and would take me about 3 hours across country as i wanted the slow trip via the small towns. It was far slower than i expected for the simple reason that the sign posts are non existent and require some interpretation. as the closer you get to your next destination the signs for that place disappear. It was a nightmare of minor proportions but added at least an hour to the trip for lost detours to surrounding villages, some of which were worth the trip actually, anyway we arrived at the said town of Siena and it was a slight disappointment as normal as Florence actually spòoils you with its magnificance, the Duomo was very nice and the town square was also quite nice but overall a let down as we had invested so much time with it, i could have driven to Venice in the same time. One benefit was that we found a cinema that had Harry Potter playing so i managed to squeeze the visit to see the latest must see film as well as going to Siena so all in all a good sunday was had
