Today was our last full day on the tour and we headed back to Roma via Orvieto. There is a big well (which I didnt end up going to see) in Orvieto, a church very similar to Duomo in Florence because it was designed by the same guy. We had lunch ina cute little restaurant and then headed back to the bus via the furnicular. Orvieto is a town (medievil) built upon towns. Once we go back to Roma, we took a shower in a GIANT sized bathroom before we had dinner an...

Left this morning by bus to the Veneto. Got off @ Piazzale Roma and walked through the lanes and over Rialto Bridge towards San Marco Square.

We then walked from Riomaggiore to Manarola, the 2nd village via Via dell'Amore (Road of Love). Along the way there are love notes left on plants/walls by couples. We got to Manarola where Jess bought a disposable camera (poor girl forgot her digital ...

Left this morning for Cinque Terre (La Spezia) via Lucca and Pisa first. Old Lucca is surrounded by a wall and has over 20 churches. We first went to Basilica di San Frediano where there is the body of St. Zita (patron saint of servants) mummified in a glass case. There is also an arena in Lucca which has now been built over by buildings but is still shaped ina circle and the arches from the arena are still at the ground level of these new buildings.
