Let’s power through this. Although now I say that, the next one after this will have fewer photos and more words, for those of you who like a good read.
We, inevitably, returned – this time for a month-long stay – week of work, two weeks holidays, week of work. I’d put my house on the flight leaving at least an hour late, and us arriving to Volterra around the 01:00. I’d also put money on party-place Vena di Vino still hopping when we arrived. We must make a habit of going there. Rumour has it that they used to give a free bottle of wine to ladies who removed their bras. Look up, and you’ll see said garments scattered across the ceiling. I don’t think it’s still done, but I can’t be sure.
From here, we did nothing but work, eat and drink. So, let’s split up the photlogue by Food and Drink, External Views (i.e. outside the walls), Internal Views (i.e. inside the walls). I will comment on photos of which I have key memories, or I find interesting!
As you can see from above, we like to spread our business around a lot – and usually dine at a core of about 8-9 restaurants. Apart from gelato – since L’Incontro stopped selling gelato, that’s almost always L’Isola del Gusto (which it was 75% of the time before anyway!).
Next up are Volterra’s internal shots:
And finally, a set of photos taken outside the walls, or largely pointing outside the walls:
And that was that. We just worked – didn’t go anywhere. We enjoyed the week nonetheless. These working weeks show us how we’d cope by just working over here should we ever decided to move (of course we’re moving!).
