Day 6: OFF Day in Orvieto

Woke up and went to Civita (about 20 minutes away). Really cool, quaint little town.

We enjoyed a little more pool time but not as much as we'd hoped for as it was later in the day and the clouds tend to roll in about 3ish. We also had a porcupine sighting - they had their quills up while crossing the road at night. Very cool.

No more car after this day. People are insane when they drive. Scooters and mopeds think they can do whatever they want. Actually, they don't think that, they actually just do whatever they want. Cars pass when there is nowhere to pass. If there are only two lanes but room for 3 cars, it is guaranteed that the 3rd car will find a way to squeeze in. Round abouts were cool. Driving fast was cool. :-) The autostrada at 130+km/hr was a really good time. Some of the places we saw in Tuscany would have never been available to us without a car but after this experience, we were quite happy to be on trains, boats, buses and foot for the rest of the trip.
