We left the small AirBnB and headed for Assisi
We found a carpark in the heart of the town quickly.
This was another Hilltop town that is set with very narrow streets.
the town square is not very big.
And the road into it is very steep.
the side street and narrower.
the Basilica of San Francesco di Assisi was the Target and we made it.
this is where St Francis of Assisi came from.
the Statue out the front is impressive, standng12ft tall
The Basilica is a Tourist Mecca for Catholic church members
So tourist numbers were up.
Inside I was impressed this Basilica has been built to remember him.
All that was here originally was a small monastery
It had the Saints Clock he worn
The Monstery is bigger but still active.
it had a smaller chapel to the side as well.
All beautifully decorated
the basement also had another chapel.
inside the basement is a tomb with his remains.
NO Photo's and poorly light.
Outside you got to see the scale of this basilica.
At this point, Jennifer wasn't feeling well so head back to the car to rest. Little did I know that trouble was brewing in her.
I went for a wander in the town.
and a lot of these places were built in the 1200-1500s
The street was narrow. Only big another for donkeys to walk up.
the town fountain was new, from the 1800s
As I wanted to catch up to Jennifer I went to the
Cathedral of San Rufino
inside was as impressive as I had thought.
But this was the local church the other was for tourists.
I climbed the tower and saw a fantastic view
Jennifer had called and wanted me to hurry up.
I left Assisi quickly to get back to Jennifer
She wasn't feeling well and wanted us to get backon the road so she could relax at the next Hotel.
oK while driving the on the Freeway Jennifer got worse.
So while driving passed Madonna Degli Angeli.
I took into a medical clinic.
They quickly took Jennifer to a hospital in Civita Castellana.
where Jennifer and Myself sat for 6 hours.
When we finally got to the Naples Hotel, Jennifer just wanted to rest
And with a Room like this, she could.
