We hadn't seen many camper vans in use, as opposed to parked outside houses, so far on this trip but there were quite a few parked with us at Siena last night. One GR (Greek) registration, one GB (ourselves) and the rest I (Italian).




Today we made a quite short journey south to the town of Castiglione del Lago on the shore of Lake Trasimeno. We are just over the border in Umbria having left Tuscany a few kilometres back. Here's the view from our parking place.




The old part of the town is set high above the lake with commanding views in all directions.



There are the remains of a medieval castle.



There is also a rather ornate church with yet another dome. It was quite spooky in there today as it was windy and the dome was making a weird howling noise! Lucky I'm not superstitious!




This square with shops is in the middle of the old part of the town.




There are various attempts at beaches along the lakeside. Pity there is such a cold wind today. I think it's from the north east - probably coming down from the Alps!

The architecture is brilliant in Italy and I think your weather is better too!
