Saturday 16th July – Heading to Florence and the Hunt-Davis’s
We were up in reasonable time and managed to get ready to go on schedule. Then the highlight of the morning – the drop!! Clearly the waste tanks on the RV need to be emptied at some stage and this was the morning. In reality the whole thing went pretty smoothly and despite the rather nasty aroma and some pretend vomiting by the children we were done and dusted in about 15 minutes.
The journey to Florence went pretty smoothly and we are getting used to the Italian traffic which runs well for two hours out of three and the third is car-park land!!! What was supposed to take us 3hrs took 5hrs and we arrived at 1pm at Impruneta. We had to park ‘the beast’ in a car-park which took up about six spaces but not too much of a problem. We met up with the H-D’s and had a lovely lunch before heading back to their B&B. Alas that was when the problems began as I clipped a lamp post just coming out of the car park, their drive was too narrow and we couldn’t find anywhere to park the winne and lastly I managed to lose the cap to the water inlet somewhere between Lake Garda and Impruneta.

Anyway we parked the winne and had a swim with the H-D’s before finding a suitable place to park-up, which was a municipal car park just outside Impruneta. Once parked we changed for supper and had a lovely dinner in Impruneta. Justin kindly drove us home.
