Wow the city of hundreds of bridges!! The most that we counted walking over in one day (we didn’t start counting until Sun), was 44 bridges! It’s a brilliant work out for your calve muscles! Its a stunning place.

We rented an apartment and I’m so glad that Anna & Dan (who shared the apartment with us), know some Italian, otherwise it would have been a LOT harder communicating with the Italian older lady who looked after the apartment. Well Anna knows some basic Italian & Dan knows some Spanish which apparently helps a bit! It was a lovely apartment, with 2 bedrooms & two bath/shower rooms, a kitchen and a lovely living/dining area. We only had a small counter top grill/”cooker”, which limited our cooking choices a little bit – not enough room for pizza! on the first day we stocked up on lots of food so we could cook at “home” for 2 meals & save ourselves some money. It worked really well, leaving us with more cash in our wallets, at the end of the day, than we’d budgeted for!
