Pitigliano by night...

---

Beautifully lit at night the town has become quite a popular tourist spot - especially in the summer months.

Activities

• Tourist day with sightseeing at Todi and Assisi
  

Highlight(s)

• Tomb of St Francis of Assisi
  
• Finding our way home
  
  
  

Odd Spot(s)

• The town of Assisi was all but flattened by earth quakes in 1997. There are still some construction sites - but most buildings have been amazingly restored.
  
• We needed to go through a large town called Perugia on the way home and had a real Griswalds moment. We couldn't find our way out! We must have completed 4 laps of the city - with familiar buildings such as the train station re-appearing. "Look kids, Big Ben."
