#Let's go - Stage 6

Objavljeno: 15.06.2018

Today we start early again, we have a lot ahead of us. It is sunny, but still cold as we swing ourselves onto the bikes.




Dolomites bike path... who would have thought that 2 years ago?


Both of us haven't ridden a bike since the early 90s. Two years ago we bought e-bikes. What a smart decision! We're not super athletes and we don't have time to train much, but we're proud of what we've accomplished here.

Okay, it's a bit crazy, it's too many kilometers per day for our fitness level.



This morning we struggled a lot for the first 2 hours. Our butts hurt, only gravel roads and uphill. That's tough.


But then we reached the highest point, the Passo Cima, and the route became easier. Downhill, just let it go, enjoy and be grateful. It's so beautiful. We stop and take pictures. We would love to stop 1000 times to take pictures, but then we would never arrive. It's an incredible feeling to cycle through the Dolomites with their majestic mountains. When you see the 3 Zinnen or the mighty peaks around Cortina d'Ampezzo, it almost takes your breath away.



The motto on the tour is: "Stop the insect extinction - close your mouth"

So we have enough time to simply follow the more or less meaningful thoughts.

With the many orchids, I think of my parents and know they would like it. When we're in Italy and I constantly say buon giorno!, I think of Conny's parrot Charly, who also says it all the time. Then I remember the Birkenstock sandals. Forgotten - I didn't pack them this morning. Great, there it is again: the self-fulfilling prophecy. I took the worn-out things with me because I thought I could throw them away on the way to save weight. Well, now the decision is made of WHEN I throw them away.

Completely undersugared and in the rush of the beauty of nature, we continue to follow the signs and look for a restaurant for lunch. Unfortunately, the signs are for a detour from the tour, but we don't notice and enjoy spaghetti and a coffee. Strengthened and back on the bikes, we immediately realize that we have to go back several kilometers to the right way - everyone grumbles a bit to themselves and then everything runs smoothly again.




We have tailwind for the last 45 km - well, not directly us, more like those who are coming towards us. After 127 km we arrive completely exhausted at our accommodation. It has nice reviews on the internet, but honestly, I wouldn't stay here a minute without Mario. It's all very creepy, we're the only guests, we parked our bikes in a really spooky cellar where there's also a lot of clutter and bird cages. The poor canaries have little light through a light shaft. Kind of creepy. The furnishing of our room is ancient but clean. I hope we can sleep, because the main road is about 3 meters in front of our window.

Unlike Petra, I'm not quite as worried and I have to stand up for the host: 1. he's really nice and concerned that everything is right, and 2. the lasagna is really amazing!

Tomorrow is already the last stage to Venice - a strange feeling, we want to make it, yet it's a pity that it won't continue...
