Back to Italy

Back to the land of pay toilets. Don.t know why that bothers me so much but it does. It just doesn.t seem right. Anyway, we are now in Assisi. We got off the boat and it was raining, and then we had to take a detour to Assisi. the road was very narrow and hilly, It was a little tense for awhile. Saw St Francis ...

Day 1 &#8211; Thursday 3rd September &#8211; We arrived in Assisi this afternoon for a walking tour of the town and a one night stay. I must say that I wasn&#8217;t looking forward to it as I was kind of getting a bit over walking tours. I decided to go though as I wasn&#8217;t sure what else I could do with my time. <br> We spent some time walking around the markets for half an hour before our tour started and I was amazed ...

Our last day in Umbria

... white clouds. It was idyllic.<br><br>Heading back down the hill we stopped at Castelle de Campo. The castle overlooks the Spoleto valley. People are living there today and the Duomo is fully functional inside the walls of this tiny medieval town. Reaching home again in the hottest part of the day we jump into the pool to cool off. Refreshed we drove into Campelle de Clituno for the daily gelato. Shopped the ...

Too much travel, too little sightseeing

... it was. Then I got to walk over the bridge and up to the city itself. It was a very steep climb near the end. And the city was amazingly picturesque, with stone houses and stone lanes, with some flowers sprinkled here and there. I stopped at a restaurant to get some Bruschetta, like Rick Steves recommended, and it was very good. <br><br>There wasn&#8217;t much to do in Civita other than walk around and see the city. But it only took 5 minutes to walk across the city. But I had to ...

Orvieto must mean heaven in Italian

... And I was soon asleep.<br><br>Oh, I forgot to mention, the other great thing about Orvieto is that it&#8217;s not very hot here. It was a little warm in the sun, but it was cool in the shade and not very humid. And as soon as it got dark it started to actually get chilly. It felt like heaven compared to the heat and humidity in Florence &amp; the Cinque Terre. Now I&#8217;m really not looking forward to going back to Florence. I wish I could stay here in Orvieto for a while longer.

Travel hell ends in Umbrian heaven

It starts out smoothly with a pleasant ride to the airport we are on the plane and then they turn us back and say the plane is broken and off the road. We all make a mad dash for the ticket desk. Traveling light saved us as we could make all of our connections because we didn't check our bags. We made two unplanned stops Dallas and Heathrow but do end up Rome on the same day as we planned.<br><br>We arrive in amazingly good shape ...

Wine tourism in Italy

... is very, very nice to visit, to relax, spend some romantic moments and to enjoy life. The accommodations in Tuscany are mostly typical for this region. Many country inns (agriturismi) and castles are pleased to welcome you for a fantastic break out of your every days life. To complete your trip to Tuscany, there is a wide variety of typical dishes you can enjoy, obviously accompanied by a delicious glass of wine ...
