At 07:00 am, the sound of heavy rain wakes me up - that calms me down - so the weather forecast is reliable after all. Now comes the special test "Heavy-loaded motorcycle maneuvering down steep slippery cobblestones around a tight 90-degree turn". In my desperation, I even drive the one-way street in the wrong direction, but Marita keeps the intrusive Italian cars coming from the opposite direction away from me. Having arrived safe and sound on a real road, we take a photo in front of the Italian Triumphal Arch of Benevento. Then we tackle the next 320 km stage. It will not only be quite wet, but also very stormy, causing our motorcycle to shift about half a meter every now and then. We put our heads down, keep the bumblebee on course "North", and pass through storm and rain areas. Our destination today is Montefranko. Just before our accommodation, we go shopping and are happy to have left the harsh weather conditions behind us.
