(Rex):-- Hi All. Sorry for the shortage of posts. The Blogger posting issue, as well as the lack of connectivity in the midst of the Tuscan countryside has caused a lack of information flow.
So, where are we now ?? Firenze / Florence (depending on whether you want to be a pseudo italian, or just plain english colonialist). Just arrived today, after being on a week-long walking tour through the Tuscan country side. We met up with our friends, James and Philiipa (yes, another one)... It was so exciting. We met in Siena, which is a small town in the tuscan area. They were both coming, separately, from South Africa. Since Phil and I have left SA for a while, it was really cool to see some friendly faces again. We were literally jumping with excitement.
Then we forged off through Tuscany, using shank's pony, as it were. It would be difficult to describe how beautiful the area is, other than to say that it is not over rated, at all. Not many places you can say that about. All the pictures you see, are true reflections. The food is very italian, and very tasty. Walking 20km a day gave us a big excuse to eat our hearts out. Loverly.
Anyway. 2 mins left on the internet connection, so have to go.
