> Lonely Planet describes Umbria as being oft overlooked in favour of its neighbour Tuscany. We were surprised to find the cities we visited were busier than their Tuscan counterparts. There were certainly more young families in the restaurants and on the streets.

> On the first morning we drove to Passignano sul Trasimeno - almost all the way back to Tuscany and Florence ;) It's a very pretty town set on the shore of Lake Trasimeno. The boys were happy running along the promenade while we enjoyed the (weak) sunshine. We were the first customers in the restaurant we picked for lunch, so we nabbed a great window table with a view of the lake. Mike and I chose the same lunch - ravioli with Gorgonzola and walnuts. It was amazing!

> The next day we planned to do a bit of a driving tour round Mt Sibillini national park, starting in Norcia which is famous for its salami (apparently the best in Italy), prosciutto and truffles. We did our best to try as much salami as possible and came away with about 3 weeks worth of food in the cooler bag.
