Italy: Siena
A typical winding road through the characteristic colorfull hills of curvy Tuscany, took us via Valletta and San Gimignano to Siena. After visiting the cityhall, situated on supposedly one of the largest piazzas in Europe, we went to Catedrale di Santa Maria. Like most other cathedrals it is more commonly referred to as the Duomo. It is quite special because of the black and white marble striping, used both inside and outside throughout the whole building, which really sets it apart. After burning candles for Opas and Omas, we also climbed the tower, to be rewarded with the typical Siena rooftop view.
