Day 3 in Italy (continued) - Perugia, Perugina and sunflowers

Jon and i hopped a farmers fence and trudged through mud to get these photos








Cherie had a couple of work calls to do so Jon and I visited Perugina, the chocolate factory at Perugia which was very interesting with a big history both on a local and international level providing employment 24 hours round the clock for months of the year and billions of Bacsi chocolates a year to the world.

We stopped enroute on our way home and while Cherie continued her calls Jon and I took sunflower shots in a field of sunflowers. Loverly 1.5 hours spent in a muddy, smelly paddock ending up with beautiful sunflower pictures.

Dinner was a fabulous affair at a restaurant by the lake - a wonderful meal. Red wine with shared platters of salad (buffalo cheese and tomatoes) and antipasto followed by home made gnocchi with truffles, fillet steak and portofino mushrooms and pasta in a tomatoe mix. We finished off with a complimentary lemon/vodka drink each which sealed the deal for us.












cherie had a business call so from hereonin today only i used her camera !
