tarvisio - udine

a day like this, sometimes I wish. We were able to spend in the hotel, which although only three stars, deserved four or five stars. Yesterday we could eat wonderful pizzas, sleep well, and enjoy a delicious breakfast in the morning.

We left a little later than usual. We already knew at the beginning that we had to drive over 100km, but of course we didn't know how to manage it. More about that later.

It was very nice to ride on the former railway track. We could go through countless tunnels. After ten, I stopped counting. There were also countless bridges that we were allowed to pass through. The YouTube video will show what we were allowed to go through. Thanks to the new action cam.

At the first opportunity, we bought lunch. But before eating, we crossed many bridges.

50km was the lunch destination and we reached it. We had lunch at a playground. The village was almost deserted, but it had a train station. That probably keeps the village alive.

Well, we continued. As we quickly noticed, we were repeatedly transferred over field paths to avoid having to drive on main roads. That made sense but was also exhausting. With over 20km/h and an additional 30kg of luggage, a challenge. Especially when the road is riddled with holes. But, and you have to say that, the route is very beautiful and maybe we were just too rushed to reach our destination.

In the afternoon, we made ourselves a homemade coffee and also ate some chocolate and apples.

With time, we ran out of water, so thanks to Google Maps, I found an Aldi. A delicious ice cream and an iced tea were the reward. Strengthened, we continued on the planned route. Well, occasionally we had to take a shortcut. Otherwise, we would never have arrived.

When we reached Udine, I took out Google Maps again and entered the address of the rented apartment.

We quickly found the apartment and on the way, I briefly communicated the arrival time. The owner welcomed us warmly. The bicycles were stored in the garage and we could already enjoy the shower.

Afterwards, we went shopping for our dinner. We had risotto, salad, and a delicious sausage.

Now we are enjoying the evening and tomorrow we are going to the sea!
