He&#8217;s parked up by the side of the road right around the corner from the official motorhome parking 1.7km from San Gimignano (N43.46089 E11.04142). The official parking is empty, as are many of the car parks closer to the town, but the tourist office insisted we weren&#8217;t allowed in those, they also said we weren&#8217;t allowed to park by the roadside, but hey it&#8217;s out of season and we don&#8217;t fancy coughing up \u20ac1 an hour while we sleep.<\/p>\n<p>Last night&#8217;s equally cheeky free parking place was peaceful, except for the squeals coming from Dave as several stink bugs found their way in via the tiny gap in his sunroof. They buzzed around, Charlie tried to eat them, I squealed like the girl I am and Jay heroically captured them and shoved them back outside. The skylight&#8217;s thermal lining was inserted to keep any further pests out. The rain came and went in waves, keeping the temperature in Dave nice and toasty &#8211; we&#8217;re now very, very close to the magic 15 November obligatory snow chain and winter tyre day, but no sign of the weather getting any colder &#8211; thank goodness.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve also hit a bit of a landmark today &#8211; 400 days on the road. To celebrate we sought out nearest Lidl (in Poggibonsi &#8211; what a great name!) and did a BIG shop. \u20ac82 worth of food and drink (mainly drink) is now crammed into Dave&#8217;s cupboards. There&#8217;s no room for laundry on the laundry\/drinks shelf, so we&#8217;ll either have to get very drunk over the next couple of days, or keep wearing the same clothes &#8211; is there an acceptable length of time you can wear the same t-shirt for?<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6392\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/DSC04236-521x1024.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6392\" class=\"wp-image-6392\" title=\"DSC04236 (521x1024)\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/DSC04236-521x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"786\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/DSC04236-521x1024.jpg 521w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/DSC04236-521x1024-153x300.jpg 153w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6392\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Couldn&#8217;t work out if we were allowed down here, no picture of a motorhome or any idea what the sign is on about &#8211; but it was the route to Lidl so we did.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>With bumps and bangs\u00a0emanating\u00a0from the cupboards as our latest purchases settled in, we headed a few short kilometres to San Gimignano.

Nerves and tempers frayed as we found ourselves negotiating a narrow gap between a stopped bus and a large group of teenagers waiting at a bus stop opposite. The group spilled out into the road making the gap too small for Dave, so we inched forward very slowly to move them over. Unfortunately they&#8217;d spotted that we&#8217;d just had to make a u-turn. Laughs, shouts and jeers rang out in our direction and one bright spark tried to hit Dave&#8217;s tyres with his umbrella. We crawled past unable to move any further over because of the stopped bus, until the inevitable happened &#8211; one of the group didn&#8217;t see Dave&#8217;s sticking out wing mirror and it caught her on the head, much to the amusement of the masses. Stopping I leant out my window to check she was OK. The girl in question was rubbing her head, her mates smiled and waved that all was good, but the baying crowd sensed our weakness &#8211; we were concerned about our victim &#8211; so the shouts and jeers intensified. We drove off.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6396\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/DSC04243-1024x314.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6396\" class=\"wp-image-6396 size-content\" title=\"DSC04243 (1024x314)\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/DSC04243-1024x314-620x264.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"264\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6396\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">San Gimignano , as you can&#8217;t really see all of the towers when you&#8217;re in it!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>We pulled into the tourist bus drop off area and I managed to negotiate (as in, please help I don&#8217;t speak Italian and there&#8217;s no where to park around here) with the security guard to let us leave Dave there for an hour while we had a quick look around the town. As soon as we looked through the arched entrance we knew we&#8217;d need longer than an hour. The place is beautiful.
