 We arrived at our hotel around 1:30 pm Italian time and had time to shower and rest a minute before meeting in the lobby for a brief get together and some Italian hospitality including "vino". After this short respite we departed for the Villa D'Este Gardens and fountains in Tivoli. After walking the gardens, and walking the gardens, and walking the gardens, we struggled back up the hill to our bus. We then had a lovely dinner in a hilltop restaurant complete with entertainment. There was singing and dancing and a beautiful sunset. Our "coach" awaited and motored us back to our hotel.

We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at the mountaintop restaurant.

 

Beware the red wine.

 

The musicians really made things lively.

 

More lively for some than others!
