Leaving Umbria for Tuscany

Sunday morning 13th May. After breakfast at Borgio di Carpiano we packed our bags and left the province of Umbria for the 2 and half hour drive to Montalcino in the province of Tuscany. We were in for a shock though, from warm sunny weather in Umbria, we were actually swimming in the pool in Borgo, the weather had turned quite cold with a bitter wind running through the walled town of Montalcino. Good job we each brought a top coat and a sweat shirt with us. Anyway first thing to do was to check in at our quaint B&B  Palazzina Cesira and to meet our hosts Roberto and Lucilla. It had a great location right in the heart of the walled town along the main drag

Our Last Full Day @ Borgo di Carpiano

Well it got to Saturday 12th May, our last full day at Borgo. We had a wonderful stay in a fantastic location. Ricardo and Marilisa are fantastic hosts. It was a pleasure to see them both again after 7 years.
Just added some general photos of us and Borgo on this post.

Robin and that fascinating mini wine decanter.

Arrivederci to Ricardo, Marilisa, Harmony and the Borgo, along with Robin.
Thanks for everything.
