Today we disembarked from the Noordam. The new "expedited disembarkation" process worked well. If you don't mind "schlepping" your own luggage (which we didn't) you just walk off when your ready. Got our car rental and set the TomTom for Radda in Chianti, about 3 hours north. Made one stop in Perugia and had lunch there, near the central Piazza of the old city. Arrived safely in Radda and checked in at the Pallazo San Niccolo, the same hotel we stayed at three years ago. Even got the same room! We were also surprised to find our rate included a full breakfast, which we weren't expecting, so it's excellent value. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Tuscany. The Internet and WiFi actually work too!
