While the rest of the cast took a break from house-hunting and our exhausting days of searching out the perfect gelato, English hubby, Sweetpea, Auntie C and I did some exploring one fine day...
To Sarnano, an ancient Roman town with enough magical lanes and stairways to keep us busy for an hour or two....
Before stopping for a reviving espresso (grown-ups) and hot chocolate (Sweetpea) which prepared us for....
A drive into the Sibillini mountains, where I felt like channeling Julie Andrews in the Sound of Music...
And then a hike up what felt like a vertical climb to this cross, whose use we couldn't decipher but it afforded us one of the most stunning views of the trip. And inspired a slightly irreverent yet joyful pose from Sweetpea after she attained her first summit.
In the second photo above, Sweetpea is the pink speck on the right.
A couple more days of fine food, sunshine and recuperation, and that was that.
Ciao Italia.
