Still here in Tuscany

Well, here we are still at the world’s best campsite (unless you like peace and quiet!). We are finding it difficult to drag the kids away from here. The campsite organises excursions for you to places like Siena but I can’t convince Tim, Caleb or Daniel that it would be a good idea to do anything! They have all had enough of sightseeing for the moment, and we are taking a bit of a breather in this fabulous place. You really don’t need to go anywhere. We have had a medieval knight and archer parade through our campground (Caleb was almost in it he walked so closely next to a man holding a battleaxe), and Caleb and I watched an arching tournament from a village nearby where the parade marched to. We have watched two free movies from a restaurant up the mountain via the train. The movies had to compete with the spectacular view over the rolling Tuscan hills at dusk! Tim got his haircut at the campsite today, and we all had a ‘farewell gelati’ at the gelati shop this evening. It has been a lovely relaxing few days, but if we are to see any more of Europe we need to start moving again! We head to Rome tomorrow early as we fear there will be little camping spots available.
