Toscana part 1

Pictures from our trip to Tuscany. Here's about forty and it's only the first part. I think I should make a separate post about food and architecture, it's worth it.

Pisa



The most delicious risotto in the world! In the best restaurant in the world, Florence.

Cole val d'Elsa





A view from the farm where we bough homemade sheep cheese. We stopped there because we were tired. We had a long and unexpected walk. The nice lady who saw it offered us water (so kind! there was no single shop in the area of 3km) and as a 'thank you' we bought the cheese that turned out to be really tasty.

Florence



Fresh herbs, yummm!


Our area - we would walk there every single day.

Siena



delicious ice-cream (three flavours)




Me posing for a photo is a kind of rarity, but...I wanted to have a pictue with this beautiful wall!
San Gimigiano




(the last day in Florence)

Extra virgin oil produced by our hosts, yumm!

Our host in the orto (vegetable garden). We had a permision to eat their vegetables and of course best tomatoes in the word grow under the Tuscan sun!

    1. Piazza Postierla, Siena, Tuscany - the restaurant with a black sign 'Pizzeria Ristorante'. Really great place! Now go there and get your risotto! :P

  5. Ooooh these pictures are perfect, loved every of them! Tuscany looks like a perfect destination. Varied and sunny landscapes, and charming villages. And you look adorable!
    I didn't feel attracted by Italy that much, but went there twice for school travels (Venice and Sicily), and I fell in love! It's such a perfect mix of cultures, with reminiscences of the past everywhere, and people are so friendly. :) Would love to see Roma next time!

    1. Oczywiście, to żadna tajemnica. Nikon d60 i obiektyw nikkor 18-135. Raczej amatorska lustrzanka;)
      Pozdrawiam!
