ItalyHoliday!

For 2011, I browsed the cheap flights and decided to use the Aer Lingus service between Belfast and Rome. Normally, self-catering accommodation runs from Saturday to Saturday, and there were flights on those days, but the Saturday flight out arrived in Rome far too late to travel onwards.

I decided to take the Tuesday flight instead, and amuse myself in Rome for four days before heading up country.

Here's my tour diary:

Rome

Pyramid, piazza and pizza. Ostia Antica.

Umbria Week 1

Train to Chiusi. Car to Trasimeno. Citta della Pieve and Orvieto. Castiglione del Lago.
