Italy - Tuscany

We picked up our next wicked camper this morning... it is camouflage.... and its slogan is “Flies spread disease so keep yours closed!”...  we thought this was pretty clever. After stocking the esky with food we left San Benedetto for Siena. The drive was very scenic through the hills and mountains of Umbria and Tuscany... reminding Brii why she loved Tuscany 10yrs ago.
On our drive we also briefly visited Assisi, the home of St Francis of Assisi. We visited the Basilica di Francesco which houses the tomb of St Francis and is adorned in frescos by Giotti, and Lorenzetti. The town itself is small, beautiful with its medieval stone houses and streets.
