We left early to catch the train to Florence
and meet Fiona, a cousin of Lorraine’s, who lives there and had promised us a
personal tour before we then headed back to Lucca. It was a morning of Medici churches and houses and plenty of
precious religious artefacts. In the
afternoon we drove out to enjoy the Tuscan countryside and visit a Chianti vineyard
for a tour in Italian and a little of wine tasting. We reckon we understood about half of what we
were told (and not always the most important part…) but that is a lot more than
we would have understood three weeks ago.
Many thanks to Fiona and Giuseppe for taking
the time to host us for the day.
