Day 5 Florence to Siena by bus
Good morning valuebuddies,
Another sunshine day started with birds chirping happily in the wood.
It's day 5 and we are ready to leave Florence behind for a more relax small town - Siena.
Well, Varenna is a modern European lakeside town, Florence is Renaissance and Siena is Medieval.
After check out, walk back in the direction of train station, there is a Busitalia station nearby.
About 8eruo, just buy at the bus station, you'll get a relaxing sight-seeing trip to Siena. The bus will snake into small lanes to pick up more passengers and you could have a peek of ordinary Italian neighborhood.
Enjoy.
1 hour later, the bus will stop at Siena Bus terminal. Go downstairs to the basement where you can check out the schedule for next day. Go-ahead, buy the next day bus ticket to Rome too.
This is a small and picturesque town. One night is enough for us.

There are a few things you could do, for us, we are not staying in the historical town center, instead we booked a hotel at the foot of the hill. Following the instruction from the hotel, we found a long long long escalator - at least 100-200m long.
Something modern in a historical old town.
Walk upfront and see closed up stained glass of Siena Cathedral... oh, correction, in Italy, they called Cathedral Duomo.

Walk and explore all the small lanes and little shops and restaurants.
Unlike most tourists, you're going to spend the night here.
Most of the tourists will do a day trip from Florence.
They will need to hurry back when the sun start to set.
You just chill and satisfy your curiosity.
Take note of the large (parade) "square" below the picture, ok?

Enjoy.
Take a evening/sunset stroll at the II Campo too.
Gratitude.
