Our house here is an airbnb one about 3 km outside of the city...3 bedrooms and internet access. Sadly no aircon and the declared TV was false advertising. We turned on the TV in order to watch TdF (as always) but were confronted with no signal at all. A quick email to the owner and we discovered that there was no antenna as they were protecting their children from live TV!
Luckily I have an HDMI cable with me😉 (along with every other cable known to man) so we were able to live stream from Rai3 in Italian. Searching for something in English I found a free 7 day trial for a streaming service and we are now on Eurosport, in English, which live streams from the start of the race.
Perugia is one hilly city..on arriving we decided to try and find the visitor's centre to buy some local maps....needless to say we didn't find it and in trying to escape the city I ended up driving down a 23% badly cobbled twisting and off camber slope that was incredibly scarey....shudder. As always pix don't do slopes the justice they deserve so you'll just have to take my word for it!

| however from the car it looked and was a lot worse than this indicates.. |
There was a jazz festival in town..so I'm assuming these guys were a part of it:

| very happy chaps just posing... |
 |
| steps, slopes everywhere

| the Basilica of St Francis |

we wondered if these tour guides were real monks..
and if so we assumed that tour guiding was probably a penance!!
