Well, so now I’m through the south of Italy via the Amalfi Coast to Rome. And now I have landed here in Tuscany. So if you are looking for boring cities, ugly beaches and rotten landscapes, then Tuscany is absolutely wrong. The Tuscany I have seen so far is quite diverse. It’s a real pity for me, because that way I just can’t get further and get stuck here in Italy. In the following I will briefly write down some of my experiences in Tuscany during the last 10 days. Well, did you think again that I am not sharing my opinion and life experience of Tuscany? So please ;-)… we better go back a few days 😛
And let’s start with the departure in Rome. After I ordered one last cappuccino in my favourite cafe, the cashier and the barista almost jumped on each other’s necks. I have heard some heated discussions but they definitely wanted to know. On the one hand, the 70-year-old lady at the cash register, who, in addition to tobacco products, also collects the drinks and didn’t have a bad bicep; and on the other hand, the 35-year-old barista, who actually makes a first-class cappuccino with a mega crema. The story roughly summarised… when I wanted to pay, the barista called out to the lady from a few metres away in two words my 3-part order. She didn’t understand it, he yelled at her. She was confused, processed it briefly and yelled back. He again, she again… He again… she again… Okay… so it’s like this. Then I stood next to it, a little ashamed, I looked up into the air and whistled “tutütütütüttp”. After a minute, when I didn’t have to play the referee after all, both of them had calmed down a bit physically and I could pay. I even got an intimidating “scusi”. Apparently I was not the only one who was embarrassed by the situation. Well, of course a little sad that I can’t tell you a more exciting downhill boxing story from Rome, so I went on very happily towards Bagni San Filippo. For me the entrance gate to Tuscany. In Bagni San Filippo you can visit the hot springs for free and in a relaxed way. You park your car in the village and then walk for 5 minutes to the hot springs. You just lie down in the thermal pools and the water is still warm due to the volcanic activity. I had already visited similar places in New Zealand and Iceland. But also here in Tuscany a really great thing and incredibly colourful. I can recommend it.
Gab es bei den heißen Quellen wenigstens ein “Premium Package” zu kaufen? 😉
Coole Bilder- Toskana steht jetzt bei uns auch weit oben im Kurs für Oktober, nachdem Frankreich ja jetzt weitgehend zum Risikogebiet erklärt wurde 🙁
Leider gab es nicht das Premium-Package inkl. Lachs wie in Island. Du kannst dir also vorstellen das ich nach den heissen Quellen noch immer hungrig war. Toskana ist ne top Wahl auch ohne Premium-Paket 😛
