Siena, depending on your route from Rome it's a 2.75 hours to 3.5 hours. Day 4, our itinerary indicates we'll be traveling north to medieval Siena, and stroll through the winding stone-paved street to the vast Piazza del Camp, where the Palio takes place.
Ok, so far we are indeed winding our way you can see the cobblestone (sure played havoc with Vivien's wheelchair). Up and down hills, and around and around and through.........be ware of traffic. As you see it's tight. Siena was named after Senius, the son of Remus. You might remember Remus and Romulus are said to be the brothers that founded Rome. You'll see lots of statues and emblems, a she-wolf who suckled Remus and Romulus.
Ernie did a decent selfie! He walked up to the 2nd level of the Colosseum. You need special tickets to go beyond that...it's almost a separate tour to go to the top. It's my understanding you have to reserve well in advance and the tickets are hard to come by. Our guide, Ziggy told us that.
