Acquapendente to BOLSENA. Day VII Monday,16 June. Shorter walk;lift on local bus to San Lorenzo Nuovo,to avoid overheating! 7.5 miles- lovely walk.

17 Jun
Leaving Acquapendente – bus services are good and very cheap compared to taxis – today’s fare was €1.10.

Walking along the usual gravel road,very little traffic.

First glimpses of Lake BOLSENA
Papal Swiss Guard commemorative plaque in a remote spot.
Not quite sure about this!
The lake
A kind of geranium growing on the path
Poppies
Break time in the garden of a deserted villa.
Reaching the outskirts
We were totally surprised by what we found inside this humble looking chapel

FRESCOES EVERYWHERE …

Onwards towards BOLSENA
The “ sticks” in the background are actually Garlic!
The Castle
In the fountain
Quiet time – Siesta
San Christina – our very own Pelegrino !
Nearing the hotel- another Agrismo.
Hydrangeas are popular in BOLSENA
Another fabulous pool setting
June and Christina relaxing after a swim

Christina suggested we have a picnic supper overlooking the lake on a table close-by our rooms. Four of us went down to a Carrefour Express which supplied all our needs and we set the fare out alfresco style with our saint’s very own wine

And very pleasant it was,too.
Wearing Hannah’s Father’s Day present!
Sunset at the end of a very enjoyable day and feast.

Thanks Christina and Mike for some of the photos
