Only 7 more days to go, and it is a good thing too, because we’ve changed some of our travel plans within the last week. If we had more time to look at other interesting stops, we’d be in trouble! So now instead of London, Paris, Venice, Rome. We’re doing London, Paris, Milan (train station only–because that’s where it goes!), Venice, Orvieto, Civita di Bagnoregio, Rome. Both new stops look super interesting. They’ll be a nice change after busy cities and tons of museums.
Orvieto’s Duomo and St Patrick’s Well look like they will be well worth the added stops on the itinerary. The footbridge that connects Civita to the old city of Civita di Bagnoregio is rather impressive considering there are only about a dozen people who actually live there year round! That’s quite the infrastructure for a tiny population. We have a couple more things to sort before we leave, but we’re pretty much ready to start packing up the back packs. It is going to be an amazing trip.
