14th April - Volterra and San Gimignano

Said goodbye to our lovely freezing cabin site today and drove up to the dizzying heights of Volterra in the morning. Took some pics mainly for the benefit of Judy because I think the main square is in the twilight film although I haven't seen it.
My husband makes a good reporter I think! Made use of the BBC mic cube!

Then on to San Gimignano which was gorgeous (thank you alex for recommending). For miles beforehand we could see the towers standing out and then when we found our campsite this was our view from the tent.
San Gimignano was picture postcard pretty and packed with ice cream eating tourists who we joined and sat in the center on the steps writing out postcards to Sim and Joshi. First impressions of camping is quite good although we do seem to be the only people anywhere in an actual tent everyone else has huge camper vans with sky tv and barbeques.

Mat Stat - 2130 miles so far driven (the car only goes to 1000 and then restarts)
