Thursday 19th – Down with a Bump

It was absolutely idyllic and couldn’t last. 7.00 this morning:

And there had been thunder and lightning during the night, so all pretty soggy. And we’re moving on. It turned out to be one of those days that just didn’t really work out. We had a couple of suggestions of places to stop en route, but they were pretty non-descript. And just before lunchtime the heavens opened and we were under a torrential downpour – indeed we had to follow a diversion at one point because a car had become stuck in a flash flood. So all a bit eventful.

Last stop Mont Contero National Park – here’s a pointer.

Quite tired when we arrived, so didn’t really get the essence of where we are. Although this helped:

But ended up, purely by chance, with dinner at the extremely good Osteria del Poggio.

And finally – we were expecting a guest appearance on the blog by Jo and 5 of her friends who are having a few days in Seville.

But to quote – “too drunk and too busy to write a blog”. Cheers!
