I flew into Rome late in the evening and booked a hotel across the street from the train station. I caught a 600 train to Treni. And then I had to get another ticket to get to Todi. Everything was working until we came to the Todi station and I hopped off – the wrong Todi station.
After a few texts back and forth Heather, Keith and Richard set out to find me. I may have been the first person to get off at this station in many many years. I wandered to the top of the road for fear that I would still be standing there and they would never know to turn down to where the station was.
Once found a great long weekend began in the Umbria Area of Italy with some great dear from from Sydney and some new ones from Brisbane.
Day One included a tour a very sleek vineyard finished off with their wines at a local restaurant. The menu included truffles as part of each course – they are just in season. Before we went off to the restaurant we spent some time with Marco the vineyard owner sharing winemaking stories from both Italy and Australia.
We finished the afternoon wandering around Montefalco and taking in the views from all sides of the walled city. A loud, but quiet, evening at the villa finished off day one.
