Our names are Zoe and Katerina and we are from Mersey Leven Parish and the Burnie/Wynyard Parish, respectively.

Today we have travelled from the beautiful town of Assisi, which is located on a large hill. We first visited Siena, where we were given the opportunity to visit Bascilica of St Domonic. We got to see a relic of St Catherine's head and finger, which is situated inside. Upon discussion with our tour guide, Daniel, we found out the her body was actually buired in Rome, where she died, and when they went to move her to Siena, her birthplace, only her head and finger were in tack, with the rest of her body decomposed.
We then walked through the streets of Siena to the Piazza del Campo, where we found out they Italians were preparing from their annual horserace.

We continued our journey by bus, followed by a cable car to reach Orvieto. At Orvieto we firstly had lunch, and a walk around the streets. The gelato was delicous :) The group then meet up for a look in the Orvieto Dome, and finished with a lovely tassie mass. Although before we went into the Dome, a few visit the toliet. When you go to the toliets, you have to pay to use the toliet. This was quiet an experience as both we were paying for not so pleasant toliets that did not have toliet paper. Inconvienient!

One hour and a half hours later, we arrived at a beautiful 4 star hotel (true pilgrim style like) in Roma (Rome).
The rooms are massive and luxurious. The tea was delicious consisting of pasta, fish, salad and lemon sorbet.

Over all a lovely day and are looking forward to our following days in Roma. The places we plan to visit sound exciting and fascinating.

Signing off for now,

Arivadechi,
