Off to Tuscany! At long last :-)

Hi

Finally I have arrived!

On Saturday we left for Tuscany. I had a lift with 2 other ladies to the Villa and met them at Florence airport. I was very surprised to find that they were 30 and 35 two sisters from the Philippines traveling together. Made me miss Stellie lots!

We got here at about 7 in the evening. This is a piece of heaven people! I wish that all of you could do a trip like this some day. The Villa is really far away from everything near a small little town (about 12km away) called Poppi.

The Villa is situated in a valley and you are surrounded by green hills as far as the eye can see. It truly is breathtaking. We are 11 people on the course, woman only. What a super group. We all got along straight away. Our first night was spent around the dinner table where we had a welcome dinner. The food was fantastic, wish I could bring Paola back home with me she is a brilliant chef and what a personality.

After dinner out came all the liqueurs and we sat here till very late chatting and swapping stories.

My room is stunning. It is on the bottom floor of the stone Villa has a great bed a little kitchen corner and my own bathroom. I slept like a baby my first night

Take care all
