Italy - Siena

This morning we made our way into the old town of Siena. It was just as beautiful as Brii remembered! We spent the morning exploring a lot of the narrow cobblestone streets. We were disappointed when we realised we missed the Palio on July 2 which is a horse race in the main semi circular shaped piazza (Piazza del Campo) and is held twice a year - the photos look fantastic and make it appear like something that would be great fun to be a part of. 
Whilst in the old town we also visited the Duomo, the gothic church San Domenico where we were able to view the preserved head of the city’s patron saint, St Catherine.
This afternoon we made our way to Florence and relaxed for the afternoon at our campsite.
