The Accidental Pilgrims: Part Three

The two interpid pilgrims set off for their destination, whizzing through countryside and town, on a mission to tread new footprints on their quest for simple joy and spiritual enlightenment!

(this is the Lake District!). It appears the countryside is not such a gentle place to be, but hey, that's what we like - a sense of danger and a feeling of living life on the edge...

Here is the next episode of Vik and Angela's journey to Assisi. Tired after the excitement of the travel, teh two interpid pilgrims head out for an evening of eating, drinking and midnight sight-seeing in Pisa. They finally got back to the hotel at 4am, after taking a wrong turn and following the Via Di Francesco for 3 hours in the direction of Rome! Now that is what we call following in the footsteps of a saint...
