Saturday – April 28th The plan was to leave the house by 7am for a 6 hour drive south. We set the alarm for 6:30am but didn’t really get out of bed until 6:45am. It wasn’t sleeping in too much for people who had packed everything the night before, but we weren’t those people. Instead [...]

I have to admit that in general it wasn’t the most spectacular medieval town we’ve been too, but they had something that no other village, we’ve been to, has. A [...]
