title A Tuscan Winery and a Trip to Siena, Tuscany, Italy - 10th June 2013 intro Whilst walking down the track up to Tenuta Il Palazzo, Isobel spots that a large, but unassuming, building actually contains an impressive modern winery. We're invitied in to take a tour, which passes an interesting hour or so. Then, the next day, we do a day trip to Siena and hang out in the famous Piazza del Campo and visit the also-famous stripey cathedral - the Duomo di Siena. imgp1822 The boys mess around after breakfast imgp1823 A view form the garden imgp1824 Harry and Isobel roam around imgp1826 Fred walks on a wall imgp1827 One of the other apartments imgp1828 Another view of the vineyards imgp1829 Isobel and Fred look for ants as Harry waves imgp1833 We spot loads of toadlets on the ground imgp1837 Hundreds of tiny toadlets hop around on the drive imgp1839 We find a winery in Il Palazzo's Cantina imgp1840 The winery has a cool mobile bottling line imgp1841 Brand-new oak barrels imgp1842 Fred stands next to some huge magnums or jeroboams imgp1843 One of the huge bottles is shown imgp1845 We chat to the owner imgp1846 We're surrounded by 150,000 litre tanks imgp1848 The winery's collonade imgp1849 Isobel carries Harry around imgp1851 A million massive ants swarm around imgp1853 Fred squats on the drive and looks at ants imgp1859 Harry goes for a walk imgp1860 Fred and Harry mess about imgp1864 Harry on the path imgp1865 Fred and his best "beastie Boys" look imgp1869 Fred's chair tries to eat him imgp1870 A tripey cat has a stretch imgp1872 Harry - Baby Gabey imgp1873 Harry sits on the grass imgp1877 Fred's on watermelon for "breakferast" imgp1878 The breakfast table imgp1881 Our tripey lounge imgp1884 The main piazza in Siena - Piazza del Campo imgp1885 Time for food again imgp1886 Piazza del Campo imgp1890 A couple of dudes do a spot of welding imgp1891 The Duomo as seen from the main piazza imgp1892 A flock of tourists imgp1897 Isobel and Fred eat more gelato imgp1901 Café culture in Siena imgp1909 Fred runs around the piazza imgp1910 A tranquil water feature imgp1913 Harry goes for a stomp around too imgp1914 Isobel and Gabes walk around the main square imgp1916 Harry, Isobel and Fred nearly lost in the crowd imgp1919 A dramatic fish-eye view of the Piazza del Campo imgp1920 Another fish-eye of the piazza imgp1926 Isobel embarks on a leather-goods shopping spree imgp1928 A defunct fountain imgp1929 A rather grand Telecom Italia phone kiosk imgp1930 The very-stripey Duomo di Siena imgp1933 Fred and a wall imgp1936 The main entrance to the duomo imgp1937 Tourist tat outside the church imgp1938 Some old building is reconstructed imgp1939 Isobel pushes Harry around imgp1942 Cool Romanesque moasiac imgp1945 The over-the-top interior of the Duomo di Siena imgp1956 Fred looks at floor marbles imgp1960 Fred starts a drawing of the floor marbles imgp1962 The duomo's organ imgp1964 Looking up at the underside of the dome imgp1973 Isobel hangs around as Fred draws imgp1976 More stripes imgp1978 Isobel on the floor imgp1980 Fred draws something else imgp1982 There's some glass to see through to the vaults imgp1984 Fred on some impressive tiles imgp1986 Back outside in the hot sun imgp1987 The over-wrought gothic façade of the cathedral imgp1989 Fred shields something from the sun imgp1992 Some gold on the Duomo reflects the sun imgp1994 Fred stands next to a giant pizza imgp1999 Harry pushes his own buggy around imgp2003 Back on the Piazza del Campo imgp2011 Harry has fun in a café imgp2013 Harry hangs on to a chair and pauses imgp2014 Phone kiosks still seem to be big in Siena imgp2016 Fred pokes a municipal buggy imgp2018 Fred and a wall of posters
