Today, we said goodbye to our magnificent ship. When we disembarked, we boarded a bus that took us to the rental-car place and picked up our car, a (stick shift) BMW station wagon. We then drove three hours from Civitavecchia to Greve, Tuscany.
We visited a 2700-year-old Etruscan tomb (which Violet was too chicken to go in):
and ate lunch at a great restaurant.
Then we drove to our house, which is a really cool old house on a farm. Our backyard borders a huge olive-tree orchard, and we have a vanishing-edge pool!
We saw this cool bird:
This is our view:
And this is the inside of our house:
Dad made us a caprese with fresh mozzarella cheese for dinner tonight. Tomorrow, we’re going to Florence to see the statue of David and some other cool stuff.
Let Part 2 of our adventures begin!
