So, where do I start^
That fact that I can’t find half the punctuation symbols on this italian keyboard in a slightly rustic internet cafe, run by a chap who cannot find his wifi password might be something to do with it. We have ended up in what a local Italian called “the worst small town in the region”. However, that does not change the most delightful of sunsets over the olive groves! Absolutely stunning pal!
Anyway, I should tell you a bit about the days event of cycling antics.
After a splendid cycle away from last night’s beach, we headed south towards “somewhere” (i’m half asleep with a timer in this cafe hence why you ain’t getting names here) then a break, then cycled, then a break, then cycled…up our first epic hill! What a beast this was! Helmut, our tour guide kind of forgot to mention this hill. After my summer trip, i’m more used to these hillls but in the warm temperatures, it’s not as easy!
Erm, some folk also decided to take it upon themselves to go as fast as they could and overtake our support vehicle. Nae bother if you know where you’re going, but just a weeeeeeeeeeeeeee bit annoying when they get lost and delay the group, and all that jazz. However, none was as fast as my jolly self as I made for a famous energy gel and shot right up ahead of everyone on the biiiiiiiiiiiig hill climbs after lunch, and why^ Well, to record everyone climbing up the hills of course! Videos of slow climbs and fast talking will be up next week hopefully!
So, I’ve had a massive meal, involving spinach, chicken, veal, potatoes and fruit! Gutted I couldn’t find an ice bath/beach to chill the legs so I’m not looking forward to the pain tomorrow morning! What am I looking forward to is using my space age fold up toilet! Photos later no doubt!
Well, time is just about up, so ciao for now!
