We ended up in Orvieto sa we saw a friends photos of the catherdral and thought it was a must see. The cathedral was like a mini Florence Duomo, but 100% cleaner as the one in Florence is nearly black on the outside with pollution. The front facade on the cathedral is covered in beautiful gold leaf frescos that were glittering in the afternoon sunshine. Had a wander through the old town which was full of life as ...

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 ...

Next we decided to explore the surrounding village before entering the crowds above. Perugia is a beautiful midieval village and very well preserved. Incorporated into this ancient setting are some very modern things like an underground moving walkway, taking you through the mazez below the pallazo. On this day, there were special booths set up for children and chocolate vendors.

Hi Everyone!

This past weekend was the Perugia Chocolate Festival…It was amazing! Basically, I was in heaven. It was a chocolate lover’s paradise. We took a bus from Florence and arrived in Perugia by mid morning. It was a bitter day which gave me a perfect excuse to have some out of this world hot chocolate and churros. A bunch of my friends and I had lunch at a ...

It was quite cold but with the fresh air and quiet, I got a great night's sleep.

... the pool but the second day we went back into Perugia and had a look around before catching a train to Assisi. The train station isn't in the centre of Perugia, so we had to catch a mini-metro to the top of the hill which gave us a great view before exploring the town on the way back down. We spent the afternoon in Assisi, a short train ride from Perugia.
Assisi is a major destination for millions of pilgrims due to its religious ...

... being a mess. We hoped he would talk about that but he never did. He didn't have too much to say, except for a putdown of Hillary. I think someone in the audience asked him whether or not Hillary had a chance of becoming President and he answered, rather flippantly, that Hillary doesn't make anyone happy - not even her husband! Mike sought him out afterwards and told him that he thought the remark was inappropriate and sexist - particularly in front of a foreign ...

... it filled with smoke. Also noticed that the apt. was filled with smoke!!! Turned the oven off, opened all the windows. When M turned the oven on full blast to 300, but what we didn't realize is it is in celsius. Oops! Anyway, we went out later to go to the internet, which was closed again and found the downstairs hall really stinky with smoke. All I can say is it's a good thing they don't have smoke detectors! We would have had the ...

Meanwhile, Hannah, Nick, Nadia and I would dothe free music venues. For dinner we went to Hogan's Bar and Grill... and American restaurant. Even ...
