Beautiful day - The day was beautiful, which began with tasting wines and cheeses really high level. Afterwards we went to the Aquila reserve where we saw several animals up close, including lions. Thanks in particular to our Guide who was nice and helpful and who told us many interesting things about the area along the way.
