Car hire for 3 days over
... valley, locals walking around at night pre dinner chatting in the streets. Places dn,t open for dinner till 730 so we have had many late nights lately.

The views from the top of a old tower area was great, nick was ...

You can see the grotto of St Francis, which contains the stone he used as a bed when at the Hermitage. He was a Christian ascetic and quite ******* himself and others. His commitment to poverty led him not only to regularly beg for food, but also to fail to eat properly, which almost certainly led to his death at the age of 42. We had been told it was a ...
