🇦🇹 Gries am Brenner to Mezzaselva. 🇮🇹

Mamma mia, itsa country number 7! 🤌🤌 Staying in an airbnb last night was a glorious decision, especially when served with as an almighty breakfast feast as provided for me at Nößlachhütte; fried eggs, fruits, meat, yoghurt! I don't think I've eaten that good since my boy Charlie served up steak. In fact, just eating it took so long that I only set off in time to reach the Italian border after midday. That part of the journey itself was an ordeal, what with having to march along fast, hostile roads; in conclusion, the Brenner Pass is not built to be walked, at least not on the Austrian side. At least a cycle path returned over in Italian territory, but once again, it wasn't plain sailing. In fact, I might have a bit of a predicament on my hands (or feet) here, with my boots causing real issues to my feet to the point that I ended up walking the final 10 km + wearing a boot only on one foot to ease the pain on the other. No doom and gloom from me, though (even if the weather doesn't agree), ecstatic to still be kicking. We really out here crossing a continent at 2.5 mph!Leer más
