• Today we rode to Perugia – a hip student town with a never-ending stream of cultural events and concerts. Little has changed, architecturally, over the past 400 years.
• We’re staying in Hotel La Rosetta, which an amazing building converted into many hotel rooms – each is offering something different period wise. Mine can only be described as ‘Art Deco’ whilst others offer vastly different periods.
• The ride was great today and challenging – as everyone knows, Italy is not flat! We had a wonderful tour of the underground city which was found and restored (to a degree) and our tour guide is a French historian who has lived in Perugia for 25 years. Her home town of PARIS, apparently, it a bit ‘too busy’ for her.
• Pictures are of the cycle today, the underground city, a ceremony at the church where the husband of a Red Cross nurse became a bishop, the group dinner and me in my bike gear.
• Tomorrow, we’re cycling to Assisi – which is about 65km from here (and yes ... it’s going to be a steep ride in parts)
