All roads lead to...

... well, Pisa, in this case. We are driving from Siena to Pisa and reach a roundabout. 2 of the 4 exits from the roundabout point to Pisa, but it turns out that the fastest way to Pisa is a third exit!

Distance measures are sometimes strange as well - when driving to a small town, San Gimignano, the distance was 11 km to the city for about 5 kms. We drove and drove, but the signposts with the km readings stubbornly refused to update, until suddenly, the distance reduced to a mere 4 kms.

Other than these idiosyncracies, driving in Italy is fun and the Tuscan countryside is unbelievably beautiful.
