San Gimignano/Verona Italy (Day 7)


We arrived at our picturesque bed and breakfast in the middle of Tuscany and enjoyed walking around nearby San Gimignano in the evening. This town is everything you imagine a smalled, walled Tuscan village to be. Its claim to fame are its 14 towers, but it used to have 70+ towers in days gone by. After enjoying a great night in our spacious room with the perfect view we ventured into town to take some pictures in the daylight before moving on to Verona. Verona was several hours away by car, but we were able to enjoy a couple of hours visiting the famed Romeo and Juliet city which we both found charming. The town square, roman amphitheatre and other medieval architecture made it well worth the visit. See the pictures of San Gimignano and Verona here.
