The new year

We kicked off 2019 with another stunning Tuscan Sunrise.

Then it was back to the city to find a playground with a killer view.

I've started to become a bit obsessed with the iron rings all over Siena that were originally used to tie up horses.

And the fact that there are amazing views down every street.

The next day we decided to take our first trip into Florence.

It also had the most tourists (and the first English accents) of any place we'd been. Not to mention photobombing tweens.

We decided to take a break from our usual casual meals and go somewhere fancy for lunch. We found a great little trattoria down an alley to escape from the cold.

We had our first (amazing) Florentine steak.

And then enjoyed the atmosphere as we walked the streets.
