After dropping off our bags, we walked through our new neighborhood – the very heart of Assisi, just off the Piazza del Comune. We found a very cute little ristorante for dinner, and had another brilliant meal (have we had bad food in Italy? Frankly, no.). I ...

... villes de la region, orvieto est construite sur une coline et Emilie la gentillement rebatise orvieto "la vile sur une bosse". C'est une petite ville encore fortifier, construite sur une tres ancienne ville creuse a meme la coline. il y a une grosse cathedrale (duomo) comme toutes les villes que nous avons vue, puis il y a plusieur point de vue sur la region.

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.

... of every available bed in town so they were able to tell you exactly what the options were without having to call a million occupied places. Very smart. We paid a deposit for our B&B and grabbed our first Italian meal. We tried one of Rick Steve's suggestions since it was already beginning to get late in the afternoon and we didn't want to walk all over town looking for something.
