Sun 18th March - leave Cortona for San Gimignano

I plan to move on to San Gimignano (San Gimi) after staying 3 days in Cortona. I will be traveling on a Sunday when the bus services are limited. I will need to be down at the Camucia-Cortona station to catch the 0938h train to Poggibonsi. I will be changing in Firenze (Florence). The train from Cortona arrives in Firenze at 1051h and then the connecting train arrives in ‘Poggi’ at 1214h. Then I will catch a bus at 1425h to San Gimi.
I have chosen to go to San Gimi because it small enough for me to go for walks in the surrounding countryside without too much trouble. Apparently it is very ‘touristy’ but as I am going in off season I hope to avoid too many crowds. I will have the luxury of staying in the old town in a B&B, Casa di Giovanna which was recommended on the Slow Travel forum. The cost is about E40 per night and I’ve booked for 2 nights. I may catch a local bus to Volterra on one of the days.
