Monday

Today we should have been at Stithians Show helping my parents but instead we chose to cycle a stupid distance.  With wrong turns included we have cycled about 70km today.

We managed to get a puncture (having been told yesterday morning before setting off that nobody has ever needed to use the repair kit they give out).  Now we have to head out of our way tomorrow morning into Treviso where we are staying to buy a new inner tube as our current spare is in use!  I have managed to work out what to ask for in Italian with the use of the phrase book which happens to have “inner tube” and “flat tyre” in it!

We are now in a very quiet “Spaghetti House” waiting for our tea.  I will be having Carbonara.  We are eating early because we are knackered!  Ben has a sore bum and the backs of my thighs are sore from where the seat digs in a bit.  My mosquito bites have swollen beyond proportion and are mega itchy!

By the way, we reached a top downhill speed of 52kph!  It was scary!
