day 8

sunday 16 may 2010 paris to pisa


the light's not very good but this is the rolling tuscan landscape we woke to every day, and enjoyed from our terrace every chance. 

left paris bright and early, only to have our easyjet flight delayed by 1h45min. sneaky sneaky, if they'd crossed the 2h mark, we'd have to be assuaged with a EUR4 food voucher. pfft. but our charming agriturismo between bibona and casale maritimo was well worth the wait. stopped for the yummiest seafood lunch in livorno, eventually checked in and spent the rest of the day exploring our new neighbourhood. ida, the proprietress, had painstakingly done her research and tailor-made a driving route for us. she'd listed out where to go, how long to spend, what to buy, where to stay and which roads to take etc such a bonus! we were all set from day 1 :) if you're ever in the region, she's the hostess with the mostess.
