Riccione week 2

A frustrating time for us this week as we had to wait for my replacement bank card to arrive from the UK. It finally arrived on Saturday and a big thank you to Jane for all her help with getting it to us securely.

We have used the week to reflect on our plans for the trip and have realised we are being too ambitious, we have already spent 7 weeks in Italy and have got nowhere near the south yet. So a change of plan was called for.  We move into the Umbrian hills on Monday to visit Assisi ( St Francis country) and Perugia whilst staying by a lake. Florence next for 3/4 days to take in some culture and then we have decided to concentrate on Tuscany for the remainder of our stay in Italy (looking for that elusive villa under the Tuscan sun). We can always come back another time to tour southern Italy and Sicily.

Whilst we have enjoyed our stay on the coast we have missed the hills and village life, although the beach bar we use on a regular basis gives us free use of his WIFI and has made us feel more local than tourist.

Well folks that is it for this week normal service will be resumed next week.

Love Harry and Kath xx
