Day 8 Orvieto - Soriano Nel Cimino, Italy
Soriano Nel Cimino, Italy
Unfortunately the rain hasn't stopped much today. But we headed out to Orvieto as another couple recommended a visit. We weren't disappointed. We entered this hilltop medieval city via some extremely narrow cobbled streets and we arrived right on the piazza in front the Duomo di Orvieto, one of the finest cathedrals in Italy. We parked for a pretty reasonable €2 just off the duomo and walked around the town ending up on the old city walls with fantastic views of the surrounding countryside. Inside the duomo it was absolutely amazing. So glad we made the effort. We walked for another hour or so and stopped for the usual cappuccino and cake before heading back to the hotel. This time using the autostrada instead of local roads, which was much easier and quicker. We had time to chill and watch the end of film - Birthday Girl, very 80s - before a final sauna and jacuzzi. Tonight we're going back to the Tre Scalini restaurant for dinner having already packed for tomorrow's departure. Sad times.
