Day 2 - Travel to Orvieto

Navigating the Rome airport and train stations is easier the second year, it turns out. Part of this was remembering to stay in the airport as long as possible because the train station there is HOT! Three smooth train rides later (and many more hot flashes) I’m ensconced in a small room in Orvieto. Thank goodness the proprietor helped me haul my bag to the first floor. I think I would’ve had to empty some things out and carry them separately to get it up there by myself!

Beautiful scenery along the train rides, but with jet lag my reaction time was too slow to catch photos. I really wish I’d caught the sounder of boar (Did you know that’s the collective noun? I learned that today.) on the side of a field. In related news, LOTS of pork on menus here.

A little rest, a little gelato, and a good dinner and now I’m ready for bed. I have a good hike planned for tomorrow plus sight-seeing here in Orvieto, so more pics tomorrow.Baca lagi
