Arrival in Siena

We arrived in Siena at 9:30pm. There was a small walk to our hotel
where we got cleaned up and changed and started a walk to the Piazza
del Campo.

This city is incredible. I mean you are literally in a preserved
Medieval town. Thanks to Zio Frank for this tip otherwise we would
hsve totally missed out. Siena gets its name from Senius, twin of
Romulus. I guess that's why i see the statue of the she-wolf in many
places (its just as prominent as in Rome).

For our first night we grabbed a couple of slices of pizza, bought a
bottle of wine and just sat on the floor of the Campo with everyone
else and took in the atmosphere.
