Tuscany




We had our own breakfast on the terrace overlooking the valley and the english couple recommened Volpaia as a place to go for the day so off we went.We first stopped in Greve to walk around the square and see the preserved bores hanging from the ceiling. It was a bit of a trek to getto volpaia, passing some wild bore and along a dirt road to a castle on a hill with a great restaurant where we ate lunch. Great food great views and we were all happy to have made the trip.We missed the turnoff on the way home and went down some very narrow streets only just wide enought for the car ...and the car is a tiny ford fusion. we did find our way eventually and headed home trying to buy some groceries to make dinner with for tea but the shops were shut for afternoon siesta until 4pm. we managed to get some salad and cheese and made do . We spent most of the evening talking to the American who is very interesting and a christian as well.He told me of a wonderful artist,Fabio Inverni
