Ever since I had decided I would go to Europe, people began asking me if I would make it to Tuscany. It seemed like everyone I talked to raved about this region, calling it their favorite in all of Italy, even random strangers I talked to while in a queue in Hong Kong.
I pulled out my phone to pull up pictures of this area, because I'll be honest, I had never seen Under the Tuscan Sun and really knew nothing about this part of Italy.
It was those photos that convinced me to go.
Counting the days available in our itinerary, it just didn’t seem feasible for this trip. I tried my hardest to rearrange what I could and in the end, I decided to cut days off of our time in Rome in order to squeeze in the Tuscan countryside.
Was it worth it? Yes, oh very much so!
Was it rushed? Uh, yes, very much so!
Luckily, with a little help of our friends at Walkabout Florence, we were able to see the highlights of Tuscany in only one day, which was just enough to make us want to come back for more.
Siena
We began our day by driving out to Siena. This was actually the area that Mr. Hong Kong Line Man raved about the most– and I can see why.
