Here's an overview of our trip. It started in Milan...
Besides this page, I've done a longer page with notes on each day's activities.
The general map, above, is "correct"... but it doesn't really convey all that we did.
It only shows where our hotels were.
On my page with a blow-by-blow account of our itinerary, there is a link to a more complex map, which tells the story more fully.
The tour operator was Odysseys Unlimited. They have done an excellent job for me many times. I am very grateful to the friend who introduced me to them.
Odysseys Unlimited often set things up so that you don't have to change hotels every day. You go to someplace nice, and go out from there by the day. (They also often restrict the group size.)
I like their approach!
Going back to the "more complex map", I mentioned earlier...
The map on this page shows that we spent nights in Radda-in-Chanti.
Radda is a delightful small village, perched on the top of a dramatic hill. From Radda, we did day trips to Florence, Sienna and Lucca. The more complex map shows that. (Haven't heard of Lucca? Good! It is a substantial town, with very clear Roman origins, and a stunning city wall. And not a lot of tourists!!! Go there... but don't tell anyone else about it!) (Lucca map- no obtrusive advertising!- from OpenStreetmap.org)

What's New at the Site / / Advanced search
This search tool (free to me and to you) provided by FreeFind.com... whom I've used since 2002. I'm happy with them... obviously!
Unlike the clever Google search engine, FreeFind's merely looks for the words you type, so....
* Spell them properly.
* Don't bother with "How do I get rich?" That will merely return pages with "how", "do", "I"....
Disclosure: FreeFind tells me what people have searched for. It doesn't tell me your personal details. (If someone would "spy" on you, wouldn't they also feel free to lie in a "privacy statement"? I didn't wite that to say "I'm not lying"... how can you tell? I wrote it to ask "What are privacy statements worth?".
I have other sites. The Freefind search will not include them. They have their own search buttons.
My SheepdogSoftware.co.uk site.
My "wywtk.com" site...WhatYouWantToKnow
And there are links from those pages to pages at my SheepdogGuides.com, Arduserver.com and Flat-Earth-Academy.com sites.
My oldest-still-going site is at http://www.arunet.co.uk/tkboyd/index2.htm but that does not accept httpS access. An image of most of it is also available at https://skywoof.com/aru/index2.htm
