Civita di Bagnoregio

This is the second time we have gone to Civita di Bagnoregio but it was still as awe inspiring as the first time we saw it. The hill it stands on has slowly eroded away until all that remains is the central part of town, balanced precariously on a stand of rock. It is almost like looking at a fairytale rendition of a magical castle placed out of reach by some evil witch. The town is only reached by a long, long bridge that rises up to the entrance. No cars can fit on the bridge, only motor scooters and the small Piaggio Ape, a tiny vehicle used to traverse the small streets in Italy. So in order to reach this beautiful little town, you have a great deal of walking and climbing to do. But if you can manage it, you will never forget it!
