Norcia and San Bernadetto del Tronto May 1

 Our time in Assisi is ended so we head for the Adriatic coast via the hill town of Norcia. Norcia is famous for its Pecorino cheese and its salamis and prosciuttos. It’s also undergoing major reconstruction of several buildings so there’d were lots of fences and road restrictions. It was a public holiday so there were lots of people walking around carrying bags of small goods they’d come here to buy from one particular shop (see the photo below). We were happy to have a pastry plus a hot chocolate (Chris) and a gelato (Di).

We then drove on to San Benadetto in pouring rain. Not very good beach weather! Mind you if it were summer the beaches would be covered with umbrellas and sunbeds put out by the local hotels who each have their own stretch of beach.

Can’t beat Italian pastries and Gelato,

A miserable day at the beach
