Civita - the 'dying village'

Today we headed off to visit Civita - a village that both Nikki/Brett and Earl/I had been told to try and visit when we were in Umbria. An hour's drive later - we could see why..


This crazy little village is perched right up on the top of this mountain - connected to the rest of the world by a long, steep concrete bridge. Anyone with height issues - don't go! Just before we got to the bridge, the girls had to say hi to a friendly donkey - too cute.



Once you get over the bridge and up into the village, it is absolutely amazing.





Everywhere you turn, there is a photo opportunity - seriously picture postcard stuff.


We had a long lunch at a local restaurant before heading back to the villa for our last night in Umbria. We all head off tomorrow morning - nikki/brett and kids off to Venice and we're heading for 3 days in Luberon, Provence before a week in French farmhouse in Bordeaux.
