Coffee by the lake to start the day

Dropped the gas canister in the lake and also think I flashed a fisherman taking a little skinny dip oops

We go

Leaving in the peak heat is a great idea.
With a hill start no less.
These palms are sweaty.

Wish I was back in that lake 馃サ

20 minutes into the cycle and I wish I could dive back into that lake of my dreams

The eagle has landed

路 Italy

With a slight wrong turn resulting in lifting the bike over the safety barrier of the motorway, we have arrived intact. No punctures, two thunderstorms, 500km on bici, trains, buses and a bit of push bike.

A bit surreal to be at the end of the adventure but VERY excited for family wedding celebrations and the honeymoon hiking trip with Charlie.
