Having collected Kate and Griff from the airport, we were back on the road heading south to Umbria. The temperatures were soaring so this stop was about reacclimatising and seeing a bit more of the beautiful countryside of Italy. Our campsite was a lovely little place on the shores of a very quiet lake. The only complaint was the number of bugs – but at least the evening noises here were less about karaoke and more about crickets and birds.

From here we explored the beautiful towns of Spello, Assisi and Perugia, stopping for cold drinks and Italian snacks in all three, of course! Spello was particularly beautiful and without the hoards of tourists in Assisi. All though were glorious and had beautiful views of the surrounding countryside being on top of a hill each time. Umbria was definitely just as gorgeous as Tuscany, but perhaps a little less discovered.
