It did however give me a bit more time for sightseeing (que a day in Pisa holding up the leaning tower) and more importantly cake tasting!!
I felt it was my duty to taste as many sweet treats as I could while in Tuscany and in this duty I did not fail! Italians really know their sweet treats and everything I tasted was absolutely delicious. Highlights included biscotti, white chocolate parfait drizzled in dark chocolate, panna cotta and of course lots and lots of gelato!
