Another great view to wake up toBike draped with drying stuff. The light wool shirt dried nicely and doesn’t smellWatching the ants crawl over the bivvy bagYummy breakfast with a viewStarting out at 8. Again no one at the reception so I left 20€ at the restaurant and didn’t leave my personal details.High road to VareseA steep long hill with three exhausting switchbacks to climb. What am I doing?Made it to an inviting cafe to recover after 140m up over 4k.A well-deserved cappuccino and a 3-chocolate croissant at the Piazza Libertà, across from the Questura. Thanks to Donna Leon I can imagine what goes on in there.At the top of the hill from hellNo-touch toiletNo-touch sink. I wish these were everywhereMy patient “locked-up bike”A nice older man stopped to tell me about a faucet in a park around the corner when he saw my almost empty bottleLots of kids with parents playing in the park. I was grateful for the water as it was getting hotter and hotterGreat views of the eastern valleyScenery becoming familiarI changed my saddle as the new one wasn’t comfortableWonderful dip in the lake! That felt sooooo good! Fresh for the last mile home, five hours after starting out.
Cool and Interesting
