In reply to CSH. Well you can't go back to Australia until we are back there, so that gives you nearly a year :-)

I think that we have to visit Tuscany before we travel to Australia again. ?
Lovely pictures.

In reply to Carol Rice. You are right! It is a lot like McLaren Vale. We could see the vines and fruit trees growing over the hills.

Loved the first shot of the Bridge over the Arno River .. gorgeous reflection. And great capture of you holding up the Leaning Tower. Tuscany countryside reminded me of McLaren Vale .. very pretty.

In reply to Pete.

Hahaha, yes Pete, that shot was from my matchbox. Full zoom too! Not normally when I get the best photos, but this one isn’t bad!

Not sure that I feel real fit! I think there has to be a trade off of some kind with the great food and wine, and I think the latter is winning! And I don’t need to wait for the weather to warm up for gelato – barely a day goes past without me “researching” for my yet-to-be-written blog post on gelato (it’s also yet-to-be-planned, but it gives me an excuse!)

The beauty of your opening shot grabbed me. Lovely pastel colours of Tuscany. Don’t tell me you got that from your little matchbox of a point-and-shoot?

Sounds like most problems can be soothed away with a bit of wine and coffee, and Italy is certainly the place for that. Not sure about the grappa. Something to fuel the Vespa with rather than put in your mouth for pleasure.

You must be building up some serious fitness, trudging up and down hills and towers. As the weather warms up, you may discover your spare Euro disappearing into the gelato stands. Yum.
