She’s going to faint a bit more after having lunch with the Mantova Football Club.
Biking from Peschiera del Garda to Mantova today on the Pista Ciclabile del Mincio. The ladies of the tour de lini actually went through the home of tortellini!
After our little detour up a mountain that we didn’t have to go up, and avoiding hypothermia thanks to a little hotel, we got back down the mountain and into the valley. Now we’re on the Valle dell’Adige, and after 15 years I’m back in the Sud Tirol!
Today is Liberation Day in Italy, which means everything is shut down. The train ticket systems barely even work. After two hours of waiting in line and negotiating a train ticket exchange for our bicycles (you can’t bring bikes on high speed trains), we finally got on a train up to Trento.
An aside, in Italy, dogs take priority over everything. You can get easily get a ticket for your dog for any train, however, if you want to bring a bike, it involves lengthy negotiations and my strategy is just pretend I’m a lost American girl who doesn’t speak any Italian.
This morning we had to ride the funicular up the hill to Brunate for our morning cafe.
I just packed my bicycle up and flew to Italy and now I’m in Como.
We have to put the bicycles together, but first, some walking and site seeing, and of course, some wine. Let the Tour de Lini commence!
