Next stop – Tuscania. After we turn up the heat in the car and switch on Alice. The route takes us through Tarquinia, where we see a sign for Porchetta. Really? Yes! it’s too early now, but maybe on the way back? We’ll have to think about that. Off we go through the little roads and narrow 2 lanes through the countryside. Lots of farmland here – including double tractor trailers hauling hay and hauling down the roads at speeds that are better on the autostrada! We’re calling this Australia-Italy, because it reminds us of those scary double trucks in Australia.
We make it to Tuscania without incident (thankfully) and find a parking lot right outside the gates. We figure out how to pay (ask the tourist lady – you pay there!), grab a map and head into the walled city. It’s a really great place. A lovely park around the one side gives beautiful countryside vistas (all sadly backlit at this point in the day, but still terribly picturesque).
We wander through the cobblestone streets, snapping pictures here and there.
It’s a wonderful little town – and if it were a little warmer, with a little less wind? We’d stay here for quite some time. But – you know? It’s brutal – and we’re just not hanging out! We stop in a café – the Duomo Café – for cappuccino and wifi – then head back to the car – and back to Civi.
