The kids climbing together

2nd week in Italy

 For our second week we moved to a new cottage in Castelfiorentino, not far from Florence. Another very nice location in the hills and part of a vinyard with castle and all. We took day trips in our rental car to Florence and San Gimignano. The cottage had access to a shared pool just accross the small lane through the farm. This is where Nicholas learnt to swim on his own with arm floats.

This was the view from the front of the cottage out over the viyards of Tuscany, lovely!

1st week in Tuscany, Italy

 Our 1st week in Tuscany was in a cottage just outside a small village called Pietraiva. The place was great and had fantastic pool in the garden. Shared by just a few other appartments on the farm, we had it almost to our selves most days. Great day trips to Siena and other mountin villages.
