Italy

We have had fabulous time with Jacks' nan Carole in Italy. It's been hot and sunny. We feel like we are in a sanctuary here living in her second house on top of a mountain with stunning views. Her dogs and cats and herself are good company in this beautiful place. Almost every morning we have had breakfast and coffee at our favorite cafe in town. 

We have done a few walks around the area although walking up and down the mountains in this heat is not easy. We have spent most of our days chilling in and around the house, playing with the animals, sunbathing and helping Carole around the house. 

The team

The first full day in Italy, was market day and Jack had been waiting to get his hands on the local specialty Porchetta, a pork filled roll. We brought one each and they were so good we decided to buy them in bulk, breakfast sorted for the next few days. Our main day out was getting the train up through the mountains to Perugia. To get to the city itself you take a series of escalators up through an old village built into the hillside. Once you get to the top there are lots of beautiful buildings, squares and restaurants to see and enjoy. One of our favourite parts of Perugia was the incredible views you get from the top.
