Day 4 – Assisi - Monday, January 6th 2014: Reece Skinner & Sebastien Vial

Today we took a two and a half hour bus trip from Rome to Assisi. When we arrived, a tour guide took us through the inside walls of Assisi and into the St Francis of Assisi Basilica. After the tour, we were able to spend time getting lunch and browsing the interesting shops along the streets. Before leaving for the hotel we were able to experience the celebration of ‘La Bafana’ (A witch who delivers gifts for the good children and coal for the bad.) We waited for her to descend on her broomstick from a clock tower.
