We began the day by driving from the Umbrian hilltop city of Orvieto to a farming area about seven miles from the lakeside town of Bolsena, then walking along dirt roads into Bolsena.
The countryside was attractive, with large fields of yellow rapeseed
about to be harvested, and impressive trees.

After lunch at a lakeside restaurant we drove back to Orvieto and took a guided tour of this city, which dates back to Etruscan times and has great medieval and renaissance buildings.
