Siena, Italy

We are almost done with our 3 1/2 week trip. We started with Rome where we had a full day to visit Ancient Rome. On September 26 we boarded the Celebrity Silhouette for a 12 night Greek cruise. The highlights of our cruise included Pompeii, Mykonos. Athens, Ephusus, and Santorini. The cruise ended in Venice.

From Venice we took the train to the Cinque Terre. We spent two nights in Vernazza. We hiked from Vernazza to Corniglia, the took the train to Riomiggore then the ferry back to Vernazza.

Next we took the train to Florence where we spent two nights. We stayed in a very nice B&B. While there we did a dream of mine - cooking class in Italy. BOB EVEN WENT WITH ME!  Yesterday we climbed the bell tower for some great views. Now we are in Siena.
