Bye Austria, Hello Italy

In the afternoon we crossed the border between Austria and Italy - so I now passed the expertise in food and language on to Giacomo😅

Italy welcomed us with headwind, which slowed us down tremendously - which was a shame, as the cycle path was not only slightly downhill but also in very good condition, so without the wind we could have made good progress without much effort. Instead we felt as if we had a flat tire: we kept pedaling but were not picking up any speed, instead moving at a crawl speed of 15 km/h. It was a very strange feeling, to be going downhill and getting slower instead of faster!Lue lisää
