Mr Bean

Today we sadly left San Gimignano and headed to Pitigliano. Our stay in San Gimi was made wonderful by our friends at Bar Bobili Anna , Giancarlo, Sabino, Paula, Francesco and Giuseppe. Thank you again. 
On arrival at Pitigliano (a hilltop village less frequented by tourists) we struck a problem. Parking is some distance from our hotel so we walked to the hotel with overnight bags leaving our large suit cases in the van. Our hotel owner kindly offered to drive one of us down and return with the suit cases. Didn't seem a problem until we saw the car. A little 1974 fiat. She said we make two trips. First trip ok with 3 cases while Steve waited with the van and other cases. Second trip Steve offers to walk but she insisted- no we fit you in. As you will see in the photos not a lot of room for Steve. With pedestrians, shop owners, and other motorists all laughing their heads off and also Steve and Allesandro in tears from laughter we made the return trip. A truly wonderful lady. Her husband also has a 1964 fiat to drive the narrow streets.

  1. Are you trading the Lexus in on one when you return?
    Jaz would look great in a Fiat
