Poggibonsi??

So yesterday was interesting...
Saturday night after we were all settled back in from our lovely day in the rain. My friend Nora calls and is asking me some quick questions about Siena and San Gimignano, because I already have been there with the whole group before (and we had a tour guide lead us around). So me and Nora were talking for a while and then I was just like, well why don't I go with you. Because Siena is alright, really it doesn't inspire me much, but San Gimignano is beautiful really absolutely amazing. I really enjoyed the even small amount of time I was able to sit up on the tower and just look over the hillside, quite a creative God we have! :]
The plans were made, we were going to leave on a train from Florence to Siena the next morning around 11:00am. And then spend some time in Siena, take a bus from Siena to San Gimignano. Walk around and eat lunch in San Gimignano and then take a bus to Poggibonsi and the train to Florence from there.
Well....
All went according to plan from Florence to Siena. We made it there in one piece, which is good because getting around a hill town with two pieces of me would just be a lot of work. Even though getting from the train station to the Center was actually a lot more work than I thought. I think we walked for approximately eight years. Me and Nora decided that we in fact walked around the entire city of Siena (ps. up and down hills) before going into the center. But all the signs were really confusing and at times even contradicting. So when we finally made it to a place I recognized I became Nora's personal tour guide, basically taking her everywhere ours did and just regurgitating what I had heard. It was kind of funny. After we had spend a sufficient amount of time wandering about the city...and asking for directions to the bus station which was hidden I'm sure of it now! We did find a lovely young Irish couple (at least we believe them to be Irish) who gave us quite easy directions to find the buses. We made it there! But then the task of buying a ticket and getting on the right bus. Luckily we found some bus drivers just huddled all together (give a pep talk I think hehe) and they were quite nice to us and even spoke English well! So seems we made it on the right bus. Or...so we thought. We ended up sitting on this bus that said it was going to Florence (which is where we want to end up...but with a small detour to San Gimignano). So we're on the bus for a while, and finally the bus driver stops and yells out Poggibonsi to San Gimignano. So we get off. But we had already seen signs for San Gimignano like 10 minutes back..so we were confused. We stand around for a little while at this really deserted bus station, and a bus comes around with San Gimignano on the scroll bar. So we get excited! But we start to get on the bus and the driver tells us that he only picks up from San Gimignano and drops off here at Poggibonsi. Now why he couldn't take us from Poggibonsi and drop us off in San Gimignano I have no idea...
So we decide to try to find how to get a train to Florence instead. And that was a whole ordeal in itself. But we did finally get on the train...and I did make it back to Florence. I also learned many things, like not to go to Poggibonsi...or give weird ticket machines more than the ticket amount (because it doesn't give you change). So they day wasn't a total loss. Hehe.
