Got up at about 8.30, had breakfast overlooking the vineyards went for a walk back in to the little walled town of Monteriggioni to buy a box of Chianti and some local honey then set off for An Aire at Siena. When we arrived at the Aire we had lunch then caught the free shuttle bus to the hill town of Siena. The bus dropped us off just inside the city walls and we had to go up 6 escalators to get to the top! At the top we walked to Siena's duomo which is one of Italy's greatest Gothic churches, it has a magnificent facade of white, green and red marble. We then stopped for coffee on our way to Palazzo Pubblico. Siena is another one of Italy's world heritage sites.
