Italy Day 4 - Gubbio
After 30 minutes or so in the Sexy Shop, our little group was hopped up on Italian porn so headed out to Gubbio. Gubbio is a very old town in the Appennine Mountains so the streets are very steep. It is of Roman origin (surprise, surprise!) and there are ruins of a 1st century Roman theatre on the way into town. We chose Gubbio because it looked cool and was supposed to have pottery. We won on both accounts.
We got stuck behind an Ape 50 on the way up the mountain. The funniest thing about these little vehicles? Some of them say '4 wheel drive'!

Hanging out on the church steps:
No, that's not a cane - he's happy to see you!

At another church even higher up the hill:
