29th May

Enjoyed the all inclusive breakfast at the hotel and then arranged to hire bikes for the day.  Very European in style, not quite what we are used to but we managed them and generally stayed on the right (not left) side of the road.  Actually the town is really well set up for bikes with trails all over both the old and new sections.  We thoroughly enjoyed touring along the entire wall with stops to visit places of interest.  The Palazzo Pfanner was once the family home of a well respected doctor; there are displays of his instruments which make you very glad not to have been a patient in the 18th century.  Strolled through the lovely gardens both here and later at the shady Botanic Gardens where there are over 700 plants of medicinal value on display. Found another little sidewalk trattoria for lunch then rode the city walls in the opposite direction just because we enjoyed it so much.   Spent the afternoon updating the blog because at last we had internet connection and then had dinner where all the locals were dining just around the corner.  Enjoyed pasta with mushroom and veal with mushroom. Molto bene.   Our last night in Tuscany.
