Breakfast had to be the other half of the ciabatta from Piccola Oasi. Obviously with more of the rectangular bacon, but I also branched out this morning and went for a layer of cheese as well 
I also went all out with an iced green tea with mint 
We kept passing shops with people machine stitching names on various items. Being a child of 2 engineers I automatically went up for a look, curious to know firstly how the machine worked to achieve a chain stitch and secondly to allow enough movement in the track to create curves. The lady then made this for me 
I then had to go back later to get a chefs hat with my name embroidered on 
I’M PROPER CHEF NOW!!

Hot chocolate-more like a rich chocolate custard!! Absolutely gorgeous and perfect for my mood!!
Another day, another lovely spot for lunch-with the best gluten free pasta I have ever had!! It went perfectly with the duck and pecorino cheese also we had wild boar ham with bread to start with which was delicious. Not what I expected at all!! The restaurant seems slightly medieval, serving plates of just 1kg of meat-yes 1kg of meat-just meat, nothing else. But the meat is cooked perfectly so if what you are after is local meat cooked well, this is perfect. The 4th photo shows my dads meal, a generous 200g of veal (shoulder area) steak. It looked so good I just had to steal a bit of his so I thought I would include a photo of it too.

FINALLY I found a gluten free risotto!! At the hotel
a tomato and basil risotto with cheese curd, usually served with olives but I’m fussy. Absolutely delicious, I could have eaten a few portions!!
Essential knowledge for all gluten free lovelies visiting Siena and the surrounding area: Ricciarelli are naturally gluten free almond biscuits which are a sort of delicacy in area (I think) They similar to macaroons just a different texture. They are easy to find and have been in every cafe, gelataria and patisserie I have been in. You just need to check they have not been contaminated with gluten if you are allergic, most places store them separately though for that reason
ps. They also come in chocolate flavour
