“I am telling you, it will be sunny in there.” Siena this morning felt like Finland in January: rain, cold wind blowing and rain. But as soon as we stepped out the San Gimignano bus, it was sunny, like I had forecasted in the bus.
San Gimignano, a 8000 habitant town, is one of the most amazing places we have ever visited, the best gelato (ice cream) we ever tasted (my favorite flavor white chocolate was there), and on top of it the best Pizza in Italy I would say – so far of course.
The morning rush of tourists didn’t really exist. We were lucky to see the tower village; 14 standing medieval towers out of 72 and the best landscape ever. They looked like from some fantasy movie, these stone towers scraping sky which popped up from Tuscany hills covered with mist.
Backpacking seems to be cool, and cooler, we feel alive; enjoy it all to the extreme: no time tables, no running around the clock. We are still puzzling about our next destination, France through Corsica or Greece and then Lebanon directly. We do not know. The couchsurfing has paid of, so we are able to continue for now our trip. We head to Rome tomorrow and then southern Italy I guess.
Our website is popular it seems, we have received lovely comments about it, and I advice you to take a look at our map and our photos (to be updated soon).
Sasi, the knight of the tower.
P.S: We are drinking right now an excellent white wine from San Gimignano.
