A night FOC and with electric will do nicely sir so its a thumbs up to the council guys at Torrita di Siena
We awake to the sound of two locals relieving this olive tree of its valuable load
We walk in to the little historic village and discover two gems…
The only cafe..
And this beauty, a launderette
Fresh bedding tonight!
On to Ficulle over in Umbria for two nights, again in the hills and we Fozz it to Orvieto for more wanderings and view gazing
Signore lunching...
Orvieto Cathedral and its quirky zebra masonry
One mean looking cat
The steep way in to town, for pedestrians only
Iphone photographer at work
Has to be this size really to get about here
Two peaceful nights later we move further on to Lubriano, now in the Lazio region, and after strolling the town set off for nearby Civita di Bagnoregio
What a lovely place this is, accessed via a small bridge and completely isolated
Its built on volcanic tuff stone which is apparently eroding at an alarming rate (the bridge was put in to span the eroding gap)
The foundations are built on the stone & clay and have been there for 2500 years, but alas not for much longer and many historic houses have fallen away over the centuries
The Tuff stuff (or not so tough)
Escape…but to where?
'I really can't be bothered'
Felines everywhere...
We discover this little cafe tucked away and treat ourselves to the local rosso
A nice touch in these parts is 'nibbles' brought out to accompany your drink
Who needs a selfie stick!
Umbria, looks beautiful. Think I would stop there and skip the hectic Rome and Amalfi coast bit lol. Looks as though you are having a great time enjoying looking at pics. Keep enjoying. Love Chris and Keith xx
