There are some places in Italy I have wanted to see for a long time but didn’t dare to rent a car, so this trip I decided to take a day tour just to get a glimpse of the small villages throughout Tuscany.
After Siena, we headed out to San Gimignano, which is situated on a hilltop somewhere in Tuscany, click here if you want all the statistics and other vital information. After given a brief explanation of what to look for, we were let loose to wander about the village. Which is exactly as it should be during a bus tour. Brief explanation and alot of time to be on our own.
From San Gimignano, I took away the following:
Best Gelateria in the world
laundry day throughout the village
the most breath taking views of Tuscany
a small reminder of an ancient town where I spend my childhood
a touching reminder of the twin towers

Lovely photos. The last time I was in San Gimignano it was incredibly crowded. I’m amazed you got shots without loads of people on the streets.
Thank you. It was a very cold day and the tourist season is winding down so that made for good photos
