As usual, my wife has been nagging about going on vacation. It isn't enough that she has a full two months off, but she wants to go somewhere too. Personally, I wouldn't mind two weeks at home, with a case of Red on my balcony, but hey, I'm just the mere husband... Anyway, last year we had a bargain for South Portugal and had a vacation for nearly two weeks under 2000€. The main reason for this low-bugdet were: Ryanair, the fact that the apartment we rented was owned by a co-worker of my wife and that I cooked every day instead of going to the restaurant. I wouldn't have minded going back to South Portugal, but dear wifey wasn't as enthusiast and we brainstormed for vacation. Tuscany was one option. (Skipping a lot of alternatives, other options, how we could get there, etc, etc, etc...) Well, I booked Ryanair and it's dirt cheap. I preferred an apartment instead of a hotel because if I cook, it's cheaper. Luck was also with me, as I found something. Better said, I contacted the people here and someone cancelled their reservation just a few days ago! Yay! (Well, for me, not them...) We're still way under 2000€ for two weeks. I don't think we'll match South Portugal, but at least it won't be a hyper-expensive vacation. Oh, and I look forward to the wine... ;-) ...

For something fleshier, you have to turn to the ''Super Tuscan'' wines. These commonly use ''cabernet sauvignon'' to complement or to completely replace the traditional grapes. Famous examples are ''Sassicaia'' and ''Tignanello''. Of these traditional wines perhaps only Brunello has the power to accompany a big Florentine steak, ''bistecca alla fiorentina''.

Hi there, I am wondering if any buses or trains go to any of the famous "Hill" towns that are closer to Florence and Sienna in Italy. San Giamgiano and Assisi are naming a few. Do you guys know if I can get to these for day trips? I do not have a vehicle as I am travelling via Eurail and bus. Any help would be GREAT! Thanks! ...
