Tuscany

While we have broadband access at our Tuscan farm we thought we'd keep you up to date with our goings on... Oh wow (to quote Delwyn!) - Tuscany is even better than she expected and Lyn and Meryl are loving being back in this part of the world! We started the day at a hill-top medieval fortress village, sipping on lattes and just taking in the atmosphere of the local village without the clutter of tourists. We didn't want to leave! We eventually moved on to San Gimignano where we wandered around cobbled streets checking out the Italian handbags, then enjoyed a lunch of panini or bruchetta. We then drove thru more narrow winding roads in our large rental chariot! to Volterra (both medieval fortress villages), where we enjoyed our daily gelato (3 flavours). Tonight we have had pasta (& a little vino) in the local pizzeria - bellisimo!

Happy birthday wishes go out to Clint (moving into the naughty 40s) and Levi ... and may we say we didn't forget your birthdays - we toasted them (for Clint in amazing Santorini, and Levi's from historic & fascinating Ephesus). We hope you both had great days and that you got our text messages via mum. We didn't have any email access at the time....! yeh that's so true!!

And happy birthday to Jake for tomorrow (30th) - we will be celebrating it from the lovely Florence, and awesome Cinque Terre later in the day.
