SIENA

6/8/08
Siena was not on our travel plans but we were very happy we found this beautiful city.
At night we walked around the romantically lit streets and stoped for dinner in the city center, which we would not advise, just to sit at the tables in the square there was a €3 per person charge and €15 euro for a 1 liter jug of coke.....crazy.
Siena also had some great but expensive shopping, which I managed to restrain my self from.

CHINQUE TERRA

ITALY

For the next 3 nights we stayed in a busy campground in beautiful Levanto which was our base for exploring the little villages of Chinque Terra.
There are 5 small towns which make up Chinque Terra: Monterrosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore, all of which are accessible to tourists via a regular train service.
