Rome to Lucignano

Up and about early to get ready for our road trip to Lucignano some 250ks north of Rome, others are jetting in from places unknown to me so today it's off to the airport to await the arrival of these stragglers . The plan is for a couple of mini buses to take us this remote region of Italy so I hope everything pans out ok,but you just never know what can happen this far from home. But before all this can take place we need to fuel up on the BIG Italian breakfast which is awaiting me somewhere out there on the streets of Rome. Stomachs now chockablock with some very tasty Italian cuisine and just enough time to visit the last of this beautiful cities historical sites .With our self appointed tour guide Jane she then leads us to the Spanish Steps  which are under repair, the group is disappointed so it's onto the beautiful Trevi Fountain.Wow what an absolutely beautiful place ,contact has been made with the stragglers who have landed so we head to the airport to meet up. Departing from Rome international airport in a18 seat mini bus full of family and luggage, the A1freeway has our name written all over it. Pete the pizza delivery driver is at the wheel and we are off ,traveling at130 to 135ks and the Merc is fairly humming as we push further north deep into theTuscany region. With the traffic not to bad Pete continues to cane the Merc, as we arrive at the stunning walled city of Lucignano I thought the long overseas flight to get here was well and truly worth the effort. This ancient walled city and our hotel are so beautiful and history laden ,unless you were here you it is difficult to explain ,As night falls the families gather to meet and greet so let's not dilly dally let's get this show on the road, the men to the north and the women the south. Many many hours later we meet up and decide that we aren't that bad after all, this will be a great wedding. As the light fades on some of the guests we call it a night..............WADDA
