XI Meeting Club Panerai part 3: tuscany trip

Hi all,

I continue with the activities on saturday during the XI Meeting Club Panerai.
After a short night I had Hagen's stunning 6152 for breakfast







Fantastic to see the typical edges of the 6152 case - yummi!





Morning sun rising behind the hotel, the frontyard was still in shadows.



View to the west / coast side.



Eric, Ron and Clif were ready to start!



We went to the Workshop of Fabrizio Ciampi, "Cuoierie Meccaniche Brelli" in Castelfiorentino.



"hide heaven"



Jens aka "the azzuro anaconda" - it's matching!











Many tools in Fabrizio's workshop.



"The Lonan Ranger" was giving a class to Hagen and Eric...



...and he found a hide with the matching color of Jens' vintage strap.

After the workshop tour we were invited for lunch at Fabrizio's farm house in the tuscany hills.
Some impressions of a wonderful place:















Dinner tables were placed in the frontyard (that's my favourite pic)





Nice details just everywhere!







Thanks Fabrizio (left) for the invitation - "Salute!"



A look inside the historic building - la cuchina.



Word! LOL



Clif, Heike, Marcus and Ralf found a nice place too.



"want some more Lasagne?"



More "Salute!"







Tried to catch the beautiful landscape best as possible.



Very relaxing in the shadow of a big tree...



...from which this DLC coated beetle came down to us



"This photo was brought to you by National Geographic" - LOL!



Piero and Umberto - two great mates!



Before we returned to Viareggio, Piero handed over a plate to Fabrizio.
Thanks for your hospitality and invitation!



Fabrizio surrounded by his family.



"group shot" - Arrivederci, Tuscany hills!


Hope you enjoyed this report, stay tuned for part 4.
