We awake to another glorious day and take in the spectacular views from our Castello apartment. It really is amazing here and feel glad that we have 7 days here to relax and explore the delights of Umbria. After a short drive we are in Spoleto and head uphill to see the city. We wander amongst the streets with no clear notion of where they lead. It is easy to get lost here amongst these ancient streets, particularly as it is quiet. We find our way to the Duomo which is impressive in its simplicity (fewer frescoes) and beautiful mosaic tiled floors.
We found a fabulous restaurant and the boys enjoyed pizza (again) whilst watching the Simpsons and the Big Bang in Italian! Nick and I sampled the local wine (very good) and had a rather good 'vegetarian plate' (impressed to see it on the menu). Feeling rather relaxed we wander through the streets taking in the local shops on the way. It really is a pretty place. Back to our lovely apartment for a glass of wine whilst taking in the spectacular views. It feels like the perfect end to a good day.
Enjoy the quiet time in Spoleto and Easter in Assisi
