Monday, Day 3
Prato - Viareggio
On our first day in Tuscany we head north to the famous Montecatini Thermal Springs with an excursion to the Parco di Pinocchio. After passing Lucca we cross over to the Tuscan Copacabana. We take a break in one of the beautiful beach cafés, ride alongside the white sandy beaches of the Versilia and spend the night in a historic hotel on the Viareggio seafront. Those who wish can enjoy the rest of the day on the beach, all others take a ride to the marble city of Carrara.
Tuesday, Day 4
Viareggio - Massa Marittima
We leave Viareggio and head towards Massa Marittima. We take a break in Pisa, where we experience the fascination of the once richest sea republic of Italy with her emblem the Leaning Tower.
Then we climb through picturesque landscapes with cypresses and olive groves high up into the Tuscan hills to San Gimignano, a history laden medieval town, with reputedly, the most beautiful views of Tuscany. We take the time to confirm this claim, and then set off over wonderful hilly country towards Massa Marittima. We stay two nights in the centre of this medieval town.
Wednesday, Day 5
Massa Marittima
Today is the highlight of our tour. On one side is the Maremma, with a view of the island of Elba off the coast, and on the other side the Tuscan hill country. Water warmed to 32 degrees flows through the Thermal Springs of Saturnia, and we carry on through numerous, semi-abandoned mountain villages through the Tuscan highlands with winding roads you find in Tuscany only.
Thursday, Day 6
Massa Marittima - Prato
We travel through marvelous landscapes, through the medieval town of Siena and then north to Castellina in Chianti, along the Strada in Chianti. Westwards, we pass through Vinci (there's a museum dedicated to the famous son of that town, Leonardo da Vinci), through the Apuanic Alps with Monte Albano, arriving in Pistoia and Prato, where we spend our last night in Tuscany.

Taking the Autostrada, we leave Tuscany and head back to the hotel at the Brenner Pass where we reminisce about our "Tuscan Adventure" over our Farewell Dinner.
