Exploring Ourence

October 6th
Staying at a one bedroom apartment as part of the Mino Hotel. 2 nights.

Ourence is a really cool city! Public hot springs combined with swimming holes in the Mino River, walking paths, fitness parks along the paths, shopping, historic buildings, historic bridges, new bridges with fascinating architecture, film festival, and good food. It filled up our day and wore us out.

We got a taxi to the very opposite end of the hot springs/river walk and started with the first available working our way back to town stopping and soaking when we saw places that struck our fancy. No phones are allowed since the soakers are needing privacy (swimwear optional). In one of the primitive hot spots when no one else was around I got a video. Shhhh. Don’t tell.

Could have just became a water nymph and lived there. Alas, that’s not a life choice.

Now for siesta, then later shopping, then dinner.Read more
