See J's page for details but we have arrived. It is hot, hot, hot so thank god for air-con in the car. We have a little FIAT Punto to zip around in and we did just that from Pisa to San Vincenzo where we stopped for lunch. Our Italian being what it is neither of us got what we thought we were having. The beach looked inviting, in a European kind of way - deckchairs and umbrellas covering every square inch. It took a while for J to get the hang of Italian driving, perhaps because they have no rules, only guidelines it would appear. Overtaking on blind 
corners, parking in the middle of the street, ignoring speed limits - normal.

It was a lovely B&B, just a little past its prime and on its way down we think. Viterbo is a nice medieval town and we had a wander for an hour or so. Enough time to catch a wedding, but we missed the 
Russian bride and Italian groom with the 30 year gap whose bans had been proclaimed. Our dinner was another struggle with Italian, or would have been if we hadn't just ordered pizza. They were huge!
