Day 3 Aprica to Viterbo

The day started with a meeting at 9:30 - part of today's challenge was
to dress as Reservoir Dogs Characters so the suits were donned and
supersoakers filled before breakfast. One of Aprica's town squares
was reserved for S2N bangers and as the teams arrived a huge water
fight ensued until Justin turned up to announce the start of the day's
challenge proper.

The challenge required us to photograph ourselves, complete with
supersoakers and suits at pump 3 of five petrol stations along the
way, in the company of at least one native Italian. We soon teamed up
with Team 18 again (who helped us yesterday) and the photographs
ensued. Probably the best photo was the last one, in the company of
about 6 Italian ladies who we found in a service station. Apparently
bonus points are available for inventive photos so let's hope we get
some!

The actual driving was a real pleasure - a blast at 100+, er, KPH??
down the autostrada, a brief stop for lunch and then press on for
Viterbo. We arrived at about 6:15, WHILE IT WAS STILL LIGHT! Yes
Team 51 was in the first 10 cars to arrive so we feel justifiably
proud of our efforts.

PS Sorry for the lack of photos and belated blogging, it appears that
Italy is some way behind the Internet revolution! This is being sent
from Simon's XDA phone! Photos to follow.
