Day 10: Bologna - Badi
Today is gonna be hilly. Let's see how these old knees hold out.
Laundered (finally) and ready to go
Really enjoyed this clothes drying contraption but not so good at multitasking. Yes I snorted.
Stocking up
Focaccia fr breakfast and picke cup some fresh pasta for dinner later and I think we are sadly ready to leave this beautiful city.
Maybe after one more croissant for the road.
Ok last stop
Single origin 70% chocolate croissant? Yes please.
And now we follow eurovelo 7 aka the sun route alla Montemurlo!
How beautiful
Little swim and focaccia stop
A dream
Just spotted a nonno and nonna sitting in their garden playing briscola no less and I asked them if I could fill up my water and she gestures for me to follow her in the house inn which there was a table full of cherries like the scene of some renaissance painting and the absolute legend gave me a whole punnet for my travels. Had to distribute between the punnet and the easy access snack station and I think these will get me through the next 30km of hills
Castle on the hill
Must have been a nightmare carrying all those bricks up the hill crikey
Holy dam that's a big lake
Personal beat record and a little tumble
Arrived at camp and the Garmin tells me I have made a personal beat record. Not sure if it my wobbly legs or the slippery ramp at the campsite that sent me sliding and falling on my bike, breaking the two fork attachments. Good thing I 3d printed some spare. And now I have some battle scars to add to the collection of mosquito hites
Paddling in the massive lake
And wine.
