Vamos para Siena. Tomamos el tren regional desde Florencia hasta Siena. Llegamos y nos instalamos en el camping donde nos vamos a quedar por los proximos dos dias y nos fuimos a caminar por el centro de la ciudad.

Desde el cambio de hora al final de Octubre, se oscurece mas temprano y los dias son mas cortos.

We are going to Siena. We took the regional train from Florence to Siena. We arrived at the campground where we are going to stay for the next couple of days and we went for a walk around downtown.

Since the daylight savings ended at the end of October, the hours of daylight are less and it gets dark really quickly.
