Day Twenty-Four - Volterra: | |
From the Sora Farm stay, Maria gave all four of us and our luggage a ride in a tiny little Fiat.
From town, we grabbed a bus, a train, a bus and then another bus to get us to Volterra. Fun! Wayne and Debbie went to Malpensa today as their trip was a couple days shorter than ours and they will be catching a plane tomorrow. We arrived at Volterra early in the afternoon, so after check-in we had time to check out some of the sites.
We found the old Roman Amphitheater and a place called the Guiness Irish Pub & Restaraunt.
They weren't open yet (a lot of places in Italy close between lunch and dinner), but there was a Guiness guard cat on duty. Check out Volterra at:
