We had an amazing breakfast every morning. Jeanette prepared coffee, fruits, eggs, bacon, and pastries for us.
Based on our itinerary, we went to Siena today. The Siena Cathedral Monumental complex was easy to find. We purchased tickets and visited this Cathedral and the Piccolomini Library - The colorful artworks done more than 500 years ago are vibrant on all four walls and the ceiling.
Visitors to Siena can explore its medieval walls, visit the Museo Civico for a glimpse into Sienese history and art, and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of the city's streets and squares. Siena offers a captivating blend of history, art, and Italian charm; making it a popular destination for travelers.
We also went up to the dome of the Cathedral to view the city from the top. We waited a long time for our turn. By then, the rain was pouring. We had to get back inside and call off the viewing.
With the heavy rain, we lost interest of sightseeing and decided to take a lunch break at Cafe Scudieri. We had some delicious pizza.
It was a cold and damp day. We needed wool sweaters and found a cashmere boutique next to our B&B. The store carries beautiful sweaters, hats, and scarfs. We all had a good time finding what we need.
Since we had a big lunch, Alice and Helen decided to skip dinner. Mimi and Fei went to Il Cacciatore for light dinner of vegetable soup and steamed artichokes. They were delicious.
