Monday 20 October sunny

First a quandary. When I try and charge an iPhone with a USB connection directly to a wall plug it charges fine. However the iPad, which requires 2.1 amps does not charge. Surely an Italian wall plug can draw 10 watts. Additional I have a portable battery which I use to to up my phone, it too will not charge with a standard mini USB. Works fine at home.

A rest day with some napping

A week preserved medieval city with a five km wall and several gates. Cobblestoned of course.

Coffee shops, none according to the local tourist office; one about 100 meters from their office.

Traffic, heaviest on the small medieval streets. To the point of danger.

Aqua cotta a local vegetable bread egg soup.

Four cheeses with honey.

Sunday 19 October, evening

Long days ride. London,Rome and then train to viterbo. uneventful except for the poorly organized Heathrow with its endless entry and security lines.

Uneventful but not uncomplicated. The train from the airport to Rome is easy. In the main station we expected to find a train to viterbo. Have a rail pass -so just hop on. Nope. No trains from there. Scant information. Took the metro to another station that had a local to Viterbo. There was an easier way but what the train board showed was that the other way was not. Too unclear so e took the Metro.

Tuesday 21 October sunny

Final test and tourist day here.

Power solved. To draw 2.1 amps, what an iPad requires, one must use a grounded adaptor. Three pronged small pins in Italy, or at least this part of Italy. However this overheats the USB adaptor. Until we can find a better adaptor qb cannot charge the iPad.

Tasteful cloths all. As one expects all are attired well. Cloths in the shops are highly tailored, very not California.

Views are of the papal palace, really a fortress. Popes were rarely safe from armies, many wanted the papal estates.

Dinner at a tavala fredda.
