Adventures of a Different Type - Seeking a Home Base in Umbria
We have returned to Italy with a different goal this time. We don’t have any plans for a significant bike tour although we have some shorter ones planned if time allows. However, the goal is to look for a small apartment to purchase so we have a future base here and can simplify our comings and goings. It would be nice to have a place that we can share with friends and family. So first stop is Spoleto for a few nights. The picture above is the underground “travelator” which moves people from the lower level of the city to the upper levels. It is quite an engineering feat. Then the next day we take the bus to Castel Felice to the wonderful family agriturismo where we store our bikes. It is always a joy to visit. Then on our bikes for the ride back over the mountain on the rail trail. Another engineering feat with its eight tunnels, multiple bridges and acquaducts all surrounded by magnificent mountain scenery and vast valley vistas....
