Today we said goodbye to Venice and hello to Orvieto. Sitting astride a volcanic plug of rock above fields streaked with vines, and olive and cypress trees Orvieto is visually stunning. We took the funicular up to the top and had a lovely wander through the cobbled lanes. This small town is about 90 minutes from Rome and a place that's great to see. For us, it was a nice stop over to break up the trip from Venice to Rome.
We walked to the old-town hilltop to see the Duomo di Orvieto which is a large 14th-century Roman Catholic cathedral. A must see! We then drove down to our final destination of Rome. Arriving late we went straight to bed to be ready for our first full day in ROMAAAA.
