We walk down the long central street along the top of a limestone outcrop until we finally have to drop down to the road below.<br \/>After the inevitable re-ascent\u00a0 we enter a thick wood with fallen trees and follow a babbling brook crossed back and forth with log bridges.<br \/>On exiting the wood, Sutri rears up in front of us, another ancient town on a top of a limestone spur. Fortunately we skirt it in order to visit the Etruscan Necropolis, consisting of 60 square caves hewn out of the rock along a stretch of cliff. There are flat platforms for bodies and niches for funeral urns, all looted in medieval times unfortunately.<br \/>We re-enter the Nutella orchards for the afternoon section as the heat and humidity build under an overcast sky.<br \/>Lunch outside a golf club gives Tony the chance to do a definitive survey onto what cars golfers drive, all those entering the club drove non-Italian cars whilst all the Fiats went straight past and up the hill.<br \/>A final stroll past the vast golf course with people whizzing about on milk floats brings us into Monterosi, a small town with a couple of locked churches.
