We headed back north into the region of Umbria, visiting Orvieto - off the train , stow the bags, up in the funicular - to see the amazing cathedral...
...where we also had a great Italian lunch before arriving in Perugia for three nights. So much art and stuff to see, (pretty town as well) the head was quickly full but we did the whole first day.
Wanted to catch a bus to Gubbio which is apparently one of the best medieval villages but the buses were on strike so took a train to lake Trasimene which was lovely and peaceful. Walked a bit in the hills behind and spent some time in a gelateria - yum.
Up early today to catch a series of trains to Sulmona in the Appenine mountains, passing through spectacular scenery, the longest leg in a very local train.
Here for three days in a rather smart apartment. No great sights just lots of scenery and a rest from museums, churches and cathedrals!
