A long day

I couldn't get to sleep last night thinking about the long day ahead of me. The alarm was set for 4:30 but it was already wide awake. I was at the ferry to Sicily at 5:00 a.m it was already loading. After tying the bike, I went upstairs, found a seat and fell asleep. We arrived in Sicily at 8:15 and I had 650 km ahead of me and another ferry from Sicily to Italy. The ride was uneventful. I had a little bit of rain in Sicily but not enough to get wet. I think Italy must have the same rule as France in that no trucks are allowed on the roads on Sunday because I didn't find any at all today The ferry to Italy arrived just as I got there so I didn't have to wait and then it was a long monotonous motorway until I got about 1 hour from my destination when I came on to a bikers road. It was a great twisty road. Lots of bikes around great fun and my hotel was just off that road so tomorrow morning I will continue down it.
Tonight's hotel is a farm stay so the food should be good and it's in a very quiet setting. Tomorrow I have four and a half hours to ride to the ferry which will take me to Barcelona.Read more
