Portico di San Luca is the super portico. It goes on and on for 2 and a half miles up a very steep hill, reminding the Blog just how out of condition he has become in recent times.

The Blog often lagged a long way behind Mrs Hayes, whose idea this whole thing was, but eventually made it to the top and was rewarded with a pleasing view of the city. The tour's guide book says Portico di San Luca is the longest arcade in the world and the Blog believes that this is true.
