Perugia was great & I did a guided walking tour of the old centre, a bus tour to Bevagne & a winery, then another bus tour to Gubbio, a medieval town, on my last day there. An enjoyable stay.
Assisi was & is amazing for me. I do enjoy that town so much, just the way I remembered it. This time I visited & saw much more as I had days not just one afternoon & night. The photos are all up on fb so I hope you have enjoyed them. St Francis & St Clare have always been special to me & I have visited many sites now connected with them. Also I did a fair amount of hiking in the woodlands around Assisi & up Monte Subasio. Finally my stay was over & I had to leave.
Cinque Terre - five colourful towns with hilly & coastal walking paths between. I'm staying in Corniglia, the central of the five & today I hiked first to Vernazza, took about an hour & a quarter, then went straight on to Monterosso al Mare as I had realised that that section was the more challenging. Thought I'd better not stop, lol. So I did it, v slowly & carefully. In a few short sections the path was only about 50cms wide with a drop on one side & the hill on the other. Oh, my fear of falling kicked in a lot today! But I got to Monterosso in about two & a quarter hours which was a respectable time. I did not hike back to Corniglia, I happily caught the train & bus. Tomorrow I will hike in the other direction but apparently can only go to the nearest town as the path is closed further on. That may be an easy day - I'll let you know later.
Life is certainly interesting. One of the staff at the hostel here has been to Australia & has a couple of pictures of Streets Beach on his phone. He was quite chuffed when I said I worked at Southbank, he said 'I've been there'.
Ciao
