This is no time to be Assisi

Made it safely to Umbria and spent a lovely few hours wandering around Assisi.

We have already seen a few Basilicas on this trip, but we agree that the Basilica of St Francis here in Assisi certainly has the WOW factor. It is worth the steep hill climb and all the stairs to get up there.

And for once the tourists shuffled through in relative silence.

The cheap and tacky souvenir shops are a bit of a dampener though.

Off to Siena, San Gimigniano and Pisa tomorrow. Phew, what a whirlwind!
