Tuscany

Monday 14th. Our day started somewhat leisurely then we headed down to the local supermarket for a few supplies for our cottage. Late morning we headed out into the Tuscan countryside. Beautiful rolling hills, with stone buildings, vineyards, olives and trees. A leisurely drive to the Chianti area, where we took in the villages of Greve, Castellina and Radda. We strolled around the villages and generally enjoyed the scenery and relaxing. We returned to our cottage for a picnic dinner with local tasty product. Another very enjoyable day on this special holiday. We head into Florence tomorrow, by bus, to give the Chauffeur a well earned rest from his driving duties. That, and the difficulty in finding car parks in the city. Todays photo show the girls in the piazzo in Greve. Naughty girls wanting their photo taken with that statue.
