Get a move on!

So, now I'm here at the top! Upwards we go again, and with warnings from police officers and other Italians, I will make a nice big detour around Naples later!

So here I am today, sitting in the forest, munching on a nourishing breakfast, when a cyclist zooms by, brakes and asks where I'm from and where I'm headed.

We chat a little and in the end comes the warning: Don't go to Naples! Stay far away from there!

Well, what else can you do!

Before my beloved, lightweight and faithful Berta runs away with a strange scoundrel just because he's a fiery Italian and whispers hot love vows into her exhaust pipe, I better park her in a village further away.

What would I be without my Berta?!

That would be like the village bull without testicles!

Like the tailless salamander!

Like American Pie without apple pie!

No! That would be nothing!

... but good old Berta also has her quirks, we'll get to that today...

Today BOSAMO wanted to make some progress, so I mainly found myself on boring roads and already feared that I would have to deprive the esteemed reader of these unworthy lines of their eye-gasming photos.

Well, in the last third of the way, Italy really pulled out all the stops, and with a view of the Aspromonte, my jaw dropped frequently!

But, it must also be noted that many things must be wrong here, because it is up to the eye of the beholder to determine that many structures are decaying, never completed, and much in the area is just left to rot.

Here you have endless sandy beaches, beautiful blue sea, bizarre and extraordinary mountains!

Italy is a Janus-faced country and this ambivalence can also be seen in today's pictures.

...and Berta?

The lazy bitch just lay down in front of the hotel today and didn't want to get up anymore!

I would have liked to give her a kick!

This brat simply didn't want to lift her 340 kilos (including luggage) onto the center stand today because she simply preferred to lounge around on the side stand and prove to me (amidst my really loud swearing) that I have no say when she wants to lay on her side.

Some Nonnas were immediately there with prayers and holy water to exorcise the devil from me!

Well, whatever! Berta had to give in, I let myself be cooked for dinner so that the stubborn Madame couldn't overpower me again, and so we're at the end again!

P.S .: If Berta is lying on the mistakes, you'll never find them!
