Italy - Perugia

Day 4 - Took Intercity train to Foligno in the morning. Foligno is a small town in the province of Perugia situated somewhat between Rome and Florence. The B&B was pretty good but has no wifi (first world problem). We settled down quite late in the the afternoon as we waited almost 2 hours outside the flat for the owner to arrive. It was approaching evening thus we decided to just stroll around Foligno for the day.


Day 5 - Walked to the train station in the morning wanting to get to Spello, another small town of Perugia. However, we missed the 10 am train and the next train was much later. We decided to go to Trevi instead, another small town of Perugia. The view of the town is pretty nice.


Took some wrong trains in the afternoon and ended up only arriving in Spello in the evening. Spello is also a town situated on a hill, thus some climbing is required. It was rather tiring but the view from the top of the hill was definitely rewarding.




The initial plan for these two days was to go Cinque Terre but we decided to venture in these small towns instead due to cost considerations. I can't say that this experience is better than what Cinque Terre would have offered but it is definitely more exciting to explore a place typical tourists wouldn't be going to.
