Nae and I have been cycling together for 19 days. Without a break!! That was not really the plan…with breaks on the Mani peninsular, and in the Ionian Islands. But we simply had not been able to resist the urge to explore those extraordinary places!! So we have in fact been on the bikes for 19 days straight! Phew!
So time for a break here in Pizzo! A full day of holiday for Nae, before she flies off on Saturday! And two days for me!
It has as ever been a complete blast cycling with Nae. We have had such a good time! Almost the perfect cycling partner…even down to her olfactory issue which means she does not smell farts (haha…but still ‘courtesy flushes’!!).
1,540 kilometres (from our rest day’s 22km…to our record-breaking 150km day!)…and a full 17,931m of ascent!! Amazing really!
And for myself….4,660kms so far….with 54,572m of ascent! And still a bit to go!!
So on Friday: washing….admin….blog…..swim….swim…. siesta…..beers….dinner. Perfect!
Sweet place!
And a handing over the baton to Alan!!
And on Saturday…. The last breakfast…a bit sad really.. before Nae took a taxi to Lamezze Terme (another Ryanair-served airport I had never heard of!).
Alan arrived…for a bit of bike maintenance and to move into Nae’s room…
And then REPEAT…..swim….swim….siesta…beers…dinner!
Needed that break!!
Yeeeeeeeha!! Looks like a great spot for a break!!
Just loving your blogs especially mentions of places Andrew and I discovered 30 years ago. Brent’s death sudden and sad but life goes on and I’m doing fine. Best of luck to you and Alan. Nae looked nicer in the photos but he’ll be a good mate too.
Cheers Guys.
A fantastic trip as ever Nelly!!
