Headed cross country today through Tuscany skirting south of Florence, through rolling hills, grape vines (Chianti), cypress trees and ploughed fields. Very dry but ‘typical’ Tuscan, as in pictures minus the sunflowers! Lots of little hamlets on mountain spurs and up valleys, many walled and with castles or fortresses. Then into the province of Liguria and on to Santa Margherita (base for 2 nights) and drove along to Portofino. Lovely coast – windy though and narrow – Mark has done narrow and steep villages with very sharp turns!!
