Siena and Lake Tresimina

Every night, we've been making the most of having a lovely house that we can cook in. Food and wine is so much more affordable here - a 6 pack of beer is 2.8 euro (about $4.50), nice red wine 4 euro and groceries in general loads cheaper (trolley packed to the top with food, Parma hams, cheese etc 139 euro!). See how happy Nikki and I are in the kitchen.....?


Another sunny day, another beautiful place to visit. Today was so gorgeous, we decided to brave the rubbish parking and visit Siena - how lovely is it?





The kids were happy to get into their 1000th gelato (!) and I have found that heaven is cherry flavoured gelato - OMG! Siena was beautiful but crowded so we decided to head for cooler, less crowded places. Lake Tresimino was on the way home so we dropped in, hoping to catch a ferry across to Isla Povlese.


Unfortunately, we missed the last 3.00pm ferry. Fortunately there was a shady ristorante nearby serving cold vino bianchi and crusty margarita pizza all overlooking the lake - cant think of a better way to spend 2 hours on a Wednesday afternoon!
