The Italian trip continued to be a discovery of good food and many new wines through Umbria, Tuscany part 2 and Emilia-Romagna. We drove through magnificent countryside and visited lots of villages and hilltop towns like Orvieto, Montepulciano and San Gimignano. Sienna is a stunning city, and of course there's Florence. The campsite in Florence was alongside Piazza Michelangelo, which has a stunning view over the city day or night. It is a great city to discover on foot but we skipped the Uffizi Gallery on account of the queues outside. Then it was on to Bologna - home of Spaghetti Bolognese, Modena - home of Balsamic Vinegar and Parma - home of Parma Ham and Parmesan Cheese.
