The world’s most beautiful truck route. This road was gorgeous and mostly downhill, but ruined by traffic, trucks and terrible pavement. It was a hair-raising day but (spoiler!) we made it.
Uh oh. Another rainy start.
Another hilltop
Horses frolicking, trucks roaring by behind me
Wild asparagus for sale
Another kind of farm
The Tiber river
We finished our traumatic day by entering Perugia by tunnel. Scary!
Roman aqueduct turned into a street
Sidestreet
Surprise sight. Amazing Etruscan houses beneath the medieval walls, now preserved in a cavernous pedestrian walkway.
City hall
Town mascots
Another palazzo
Yeah. THAT Via Appia.
Next trip…
We finish the evening with doner kebob (non Italian for the first time) and gelato - licorice and fig for Eric.
