The next day we explored Southern Tuscany, home of countless picturesque mountain villages and some of Italy's most famous wine. We weren't up to the driving challenge so we hired a van and driver, Silvio. Silvio is an old Tuscan hand, madly in love with the place, and very expressive. Unfortunately, his English isn't perfect, although it was fun listening to Somchai and Silvio miscommunicate as we barreled through the Tuscan countryside. First stop was San Gimignano, the most famous of the hill towns. Again, the hills were swathed in morning mist, but it started to break as we drove up the hill to the town. The entire town is a perfectly preserved medieval gem.
