Morning in Siena.....

Thursday, 1st July 2010

Thursday morning we woke up fairly late as we were all recovering from the long day travelling from Sicily to Siena the day before. After breakfast, we booked some tours for the duration of our stay in Tuscany, saving Friday, 2nd of July, for a day in Siena to witness the Palio Festival and Race at the Il Campo.

Having booked for a half-day tour starting after lunch, pakdokter decided to roam the streets of Siena for a look at this town during the day. Below are some of the pictures taken that morning...
