Umbria and the long tail of tourism
Shel gets his baggage sent to Azerbaijan, we get to bask in the fabulous Italian Indian Summer in Umbria.
Umbria is just south of Tuscany, and shares quite a bit with its famous neighbour.
Yet as it isn't Tuscany, there are far, far fewer tourists (although we did have to wade through thousands of American and German faithful in Assisi).
Which got us thinking. OR me at any rate. If I were looking for somewhere to escape to, somewhere to take my wife when we've had enough, I would choose the long tail of Italian tourism every time. It worked this week-end, why wouldn't it work again?
But as there isn't an aggregator, a collective, personal view of long tail tourism for runaway parents, maybe we just stumbled on an idea...
Anything to get out of Milan really ;-)
