We ve made to our second country after an overnight ferry from Toulon to Porto Torres. A quick 40 km and we have found ourselves in Alghero. We plan to leave Sardinia via Cagliari in the south andRead more
So.....Sardinia is pretty hilly
September 2, 2016 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
Having thought we d been very clever to avoid the mountains in Corsica and opted for Sardinia we've realised there are some serious hills in Sardinia. Our long day to Oristano will be two days now. WeRead more
Race for the ferry!
September 3, 2016 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
5 am start this morning was to save us from the worst of the heat, but with a lot more hills we arrived in Oristano a little after midday. The map appears to show 120 km of relatively flat terrain toRead more
Inland sardinia

A much flatter ride today which wasnt so intersting but we made good progress. Hopefully en route to catch our ferry now. Insanely hot by midday nearly slid off the bike a few times!!(hammy post!)
Cagliari

We had our first experience cycling through an Italian city today which was mental. We got to see how motorway cycling feels and pulled a great U-turn on the dual carriageway out the bag. ThisRead more
Napoli and the Solfatara volcano

Such a lovely coastal ride today, through Sperlonga (where mum used to hang out in her youth) and on to Terracina. Tried to reinact a photo on the beach from the 60's but couldnt find an upturned boatRead more

Italian mozzies are viscious. They have no shame.
Ostia
September 10, 2016 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
We ve made it to the outskirts of Rome where we have checked into a hotel for a few nights to recoup and relax, and eat something other than pizza / pasta or bread! Found a great little seafood place
Ostia Antica
September 10, 2016 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
The partially excavated original port of Rome with buildings dating back to 1st century AD. Silting over the years has moved the coastline back hence it's up the river a few km's. Really impressiveRead more
