Just a Little Mix Up

We knew we had a long day of train riding today so we were up early and ready to go. Everything was going perfectly until we sat on the last train watching our destination station go by. I think we were in a daze and just let Poggibonsi go by without really thinking about it.

So on to Siena it was, sat in the station there for 25 minutes and then took the reverse train back to Poggibonsi. Not a big deal as we only lost about an hour, but when you know you have made a stupid mistake it becomes frustrating.

The bus from Poggibonsi to San Gimignano worked well....except it dropped us off on the outskirts of San Gimignano and the only thing we knew about our hotel was that it was located in the centre of town.

We wandered for a bit and luckily stumbled across it, luggage in tow! The hotel is in an old historic building on the main drag, like sleeping in a castle. Pretty nice location. We haven't really wandered much since arriving, but the views from our room will give you an idea of our location.

like the description of finding your hotel with luggage in tow....reminds me of Chang-duc or was that Chang doc or Changdo?
At least you were probably able to find some food to eat ( and not have a dinner of chips/ cookies).
