We browsed Siena and found accomodation at La Moraia, a vineyard/farmstead type place in Talciona, just out of Poggibonsi. Our apartment was fantastic, a cute little stone house, with a big swimming pool for us to use. It also made pretty nice wine.... :)
From here we visited Florence, and saw Michelangelo's David and the Ponte Vecchio; the bridge with goldsmiths lining both sides. I was in heaven, but sadly couldn't afford anything - they seem to really hike up the price as obviously heaps of tourists visit it. Our next day trip was to San Gimignano, a little old tuscan town that is quite small but fun to explore for an afternoon. Other than these places we just hung out by the pool and enjoyed the scenery. As with the Cinque Terre, pictures will do more justice than anything I could write, so we will get photos up asap :)
