Sienna

 

We've always liked Sienna and one day I'll go there for the Palio on my birthday.

If you can't go in August, then go in September or early October and the cathedral has all of the most spectacular marble floor uncovered. We must have spent an hour there!

We had lunch in the main square and watched the oddest street performer we'd ever seen. Difficult to describe he had everybody in fits, just playing pranks on passers-by! Most saw the joke as they were sprayed from a water pistol or tickled with brushes or a feather duster.

It was back to the L'Osteria in the evening and more antipasti.
