Day 11 and 12 Sienna

The rest of the walk to Sienna was on local roads so there was some ducking of cars. We had a 1.6km stretch on a busy road with no footpath. We walked fast for that section (Fitbit says just over 6kph as against our usual 4.4kph).
After about ten kilometers we stopped for coffee and cake at a Trattoria/ B&B. An Italian couple were having breakfast with their three year old who was putting on a performance until the owner arrived with a ten litre tub of Nutella.
The walk into Sienna took forever.
At this stage I should admit that I am not at my best on the final stages of a walk. I need to know exactly how far to go. Delays are not met with resilience unless I prepare myself. Our Fitbit GPS said we had walked the requisite kilometers as we entered the old town. The problem is we were at the other end of old town (1.5 kilometers away) NOT HAPPY JAN. When we found the door a paper sign said reception would be done at a travel agents (address included) Vesuvius had not quite reerrupted when we realised it was ten metres down the street.
We are staying a day in Sienna so I will add a photo or two. Not to many cathedrals though ( I overdosed as a kid and am still detoxing)
The Duomo is amazing

And the central plaza with the government building and tower are pretty special.

Mostly though, we moved from cafe to bar to trattoria to cafe etc observing the locals and tourists and writing blogs and journals.
Sienna is a dirtier city than Lucca and I think it has more Americans to Luccas Brits. There are hoards of tourists eating and drinking and generally wandering.
We also researched the walk to Ponte Abbadia and how to actually get out of the city. Sienna old city is huge so we did a trial run  (a 2 km walk) before moving to our next bar stool (metaphorically).
