... was out for their evening passeo - walk. The gelateria's and cafes were overflowing with people. I spied a deli with a spit raosted pig lying on display in the window and got the best pork sandwich ever!!! Too late to go on we decided to park up. We had accidentially drained our leisure battery so Kim had to cook by torch but the torch battery was running out..so no other choice, we headed for a bar! Life's tough.

... today. That has to be my favorite saint. Very busy here even though end of season. No wireless interent. We have one more day and we start home. I think we are ready to get home. It has been beautiful here and I have learned so much, but all good things must come to an end. See you all next week I hope.

By now the day was winding down and we had a long drive ahead so we made our way back down the hill and drove leisurely home!!

Good job, well done!

... pizzeria where I had delicious lasagna. After lunch we browsed through the many stands. Sample after sample led to some major purchases. It was hard to pass up the various chocolate products when the smell just filled the air. There was everything from chocolate beer to chocolate “pills” to chocolate pasta!!

Heaven.

I’ll update you soon,

After saying goodbye to the splendour of the seas, we made our way to the Venice train station and boarded the next train to Perugia. Known as the 'green heart' of Italy, Perugia reminded us a lot of Tuscany but greener. We were staying in a farmhouse so we had to catch a bus out of the city and after finding a few helpful locals we were pointed down a long dirt road.
Our first day at the hostel was spent lazing around ...

... however, we were not one of the lucky ones with seats, we boarded a little too late. We ended up standing the entire time on a 3 hour train ride through Italy. It was insane, and we weren't even in one of the cars, we were stading on one of the areas between the cars where the doors are with so many people we were literally shoulder to shoulder with people we didn't know. Fortunately none of them were too bad and no one smelled (which ...

... be interesting! We also found out that if you want a certificate saying you attended this course you must fill out paper work, which you have to go to the main office to get, then have all 3 teachers sign off and then take it back to the office, oH and pay 25€! What a racket! This morning we made our way to the office to see what we need to do in order to get this "cherished" certificate. As always ...
