France - Aix en Provence
So the day after we came back from Siena, i flew to France to visit my friend Naomi is is doing her erasmus year there. It was a very quick turn around as i think i had a bout 9 hours to unpack, sleep and pack again before i had to leave! Aix was so pretty and typically southern France. However i had food poisoning which was such a shame as I spent two days of my trip in bed. But despite being ill i had a lovely time.

Siena and Montalcino
So after Mel's visit to Rome she was going to Siena and somehow managed to persuade me and Liv to go as well. I was missing university at the end of the week anyway to visit France so i decided that i may as well take the whole week off - it was only the second week of term to. So Monday morning we left for Siena. We very nearly ended up in Florence however as we did not realise we had to change trains! We were lucky that a nice women told us otherwise it would have been another night in Florence. I suppose there are worst places to end up. When we arrived we found a cafe with Wifi and booked some accommodation. I loved Siena so much, it is small but it is a very relaxed city and obviously so beautiful as well.

On the Saturday we visited the Vatican. This time we did the Basilica and the tower. The Vatican is always so busy and we had a queue a very long time but the views from the top were worth it |

On Monday afternoon we walked up Tower Asinelli and because the weather was so beautiful the views were fantastic. |

On Tuesday, Glesni's boyfriend, Enrico, who is from Bologna took us up to the hills surrounding Bologna. We found some swings - perfect photo opportunity |
