Ok. I am now in Viterbo, about 80km from Rome. Last night... The whole of yesterday was terrible. I cycled through Tuscany which was great, camped on a disused farm and ate grapes, and apples picked from the plant.





Then the next day I continued until I came to a mountain.

The mountain looked like MOrdor from TLOTR movies. I cycled up. then as soon as I got over, the rain began, and began. It began for 12 hours. I finally arrived in Viterbo at 5pm. soaked. I chilled under a motorway bridge with some Goomba hobos. I spent the night there with franco and his pals, sharing smokes, and food, and cheap wine. I had to drink from the bottle. I have probably got some illness now.
Next morning, I have a tyre puncture.

I am now in the motions of finding a cycle shop.

But, ask me if I would sooner be working the night shift at Tesco.....
