New day new holiday house

Today we moved on south towards Arezzo (Still in Tuscany ) I felt sad to leave San Gimignano appartment as it was so comfy and big but onwards and upwards. Here are my last views as we travelled down the winding road from the tour at Di Montauto. Where we stayed. 

It only was a fairly short trip to our next location and we reached there in 90 minutes. As we are 30 minutes from Arezzo  and we intended to spend the day there. It is so hot now in the thirties but the tall buildings and narrow streets with shadows help to keep it cool. 

Well Arezzo is a dream of a place. It is divided into piazza squares with joining streets and loads to explore. It wasn’t very busy and the crowds were not there. I managed much better here! 

A wedding was in progress as we arrived in the Grand piazza and the cake was cut in front of everyone on the steps of the museum. Then the wedding guests were in a restaurant at the side. You should have heard them and seen all the bottles of wine in readiness for the reception.

We picked up lots of useful info from the tourist information. It’s the first one that’s actually been open since we arrived in France and Italy! 

We made our way up above the cathedral duomo to Parco il Prato. It has a huge white statue of Saint Francis of Assisi. 

The cathedral was so overpoweringly beautiful with frescos and painted ceilings and I’ll let the photos speak for me. 

We had to leave Arezzo to meet the lady at our apartment but we will return several times over the next 8 days I think. 

Our new house seems modern and has everything we could possibly need. 

So a new part of Tuscany to explore I’m so loving Italy and all we have seen so far.
