Orvieto

Train success again! I will tell you the train system to smaller towns is not the easiest to figure out and austerity measures in Italy have seem to affected manning informational desks at the stations.
As I mentioned before the train only list the final destination city and not all the stops between. So, after research online I picked the train we needed and off we went to Orvieto. (I must admit that I had my doubts and was happy when it really did stop there)
Then up the funicular to the old city and then (Ashley will have her own version of this walk in which I said "its not far and I don't want to figure out the bus")
Funny, the bus really only runs up and down one maybe two streets!! :)
Anyway, luggage in tow uphill on old cobblestone streets for about what seemed forever to the Hotel Duomo.
Nice large rooms at the Hotel Duomo but not as friendly of staff as at David in Florence but I think this maybe due to the language barrier. In Orvieto knowing some Italian will be helpful but not a must you can still communicate with many to get what you need.
Orvieto is about the cutest town ever! It is beautiful and the Duomo facade is jaw dropping, pictures attached but do not do it justice.
