1142. Sunshine and Holiday Cheer (Italy 119)
Day 062: 3 hours, 3.0 kms
Next morning I get a late start, spending a good couple hours just chilling in front of the computer at the hostel. It's OK—I’ve been pushing myself pretty hard these last couple of days and deserve a bit of a break.

Our day in history
... Fully intact tiny, tiny mosaics and the tile floors! An amazing visual treat! Since the site had run out of English guidebooks and the audio rental closed by 2:30pm Dani and I decided we would continue the tradition we adopt in the evenings! Make up stories, since we couldn’t understand anything on TV.
We both had an eerie feeling as we walked through this deserted site. Not many tourists there at all. A ...
