For my first day trip, a few of us went to Siena to explore for a day. It cost us about 6 Euros and 40 cents to take a train there, and the same on the way back. It was about an hour and half train ride there. For being pretty close to Florence, Siena seems so much different! The people seem a little bit more relaxed and friendly compared to the people in Florence. It is not as busy, and everyone seems to enjoy every second of life. It was a relaxing atmosphere for a change! Siena was a beautiful place, and has THE BEST GELATO I have ever had. I have had gelato in a bunch of different places throughout Italy, but I would still say that Siena knows how to make the best gelato!! With a little help from the famous Mr. Rick Steves we were able to navigate through Siena without any problems! It was a fun little day trip, and I am really glad I was able to go!!
