Today we visited Sienna, a beautiful medieval town set on a rock. As well as sightseeing, we had some more pressing needs – Bruce needed a haircut (gosh his hair neary reached his ears) and I needed to buy stamps.
So off we went with our separate tasks. Do you know it takes longer to buy a stamp in Sienna than to have a hair cut!

Buying a stamp in Siena
My friend Anthea who has just been on hol in Italy described trying to buy postcard stamps! Only did it once, far too onerous with stamps in time-delay vault, only 1 person permitted to sell stamps, and all stamp nos. sold to be recorded!
Actually, as we travel I get the feeling that postcards are becoming outdated. As well as the challenge of buying stamps, you simply don’t see them displayed as much.
Replaced by electronic media I suppose.
