Siena might not as well known compared to Pisa and Florence among the tourists,but Siena has its own beauty and charm.Located on several hill tops of over 300m in altitude,is 70 km south of Florence, offering differrent kind of landscape where streets and houses built on a very steep slope, rarely you will notice a single piece of  flat land, even the biggest square in town was built on a gentle slope.Walking along the narrow copperstone streets with many turns and junctions,can easily get lost in a circle or a dead end. There is an historic Old Wall in a rectangular shape just outside the centro where joggers and couples like to hang around.Spent 2 hr in the internet operated by a Bangladeshi for 3.5 euro. I left my sunglass on the table when i was shopping in the Pam supermarket 10.3 euro, so had to cycle another 5 km back to the internet,fortunately it was still there, eventhough the sunglass is cheap which i bought before i started, I find it very comfortable wearing and it has been faithfully with me so far,some sort of sendimental value.
