Tortoreto

After 11 hours sleep and nothing to eat yesterday I enjoyed fresh fruit followed by scrambled eggs followed by bread and with two coffees.
I set off at around 9am and after an hour stopped for fuel. I bought a sandwich which was so dry it should have been thrown to the seagulls days ago.
The road was as I expected, a lot quieter than previous days and the weather was fine. A couple of hours into the ride I caught up with another touring motorcyclist. We pulled in at the next service station where he told me he's German and on his way to Sicily. He had so much stuff on his bike I asked if he's moving house, he said he's camping. My camping days are over I'm happy to say. He also said with a thumbs up and a smile that his wife does not go on the motorcycle with him. No comment.
Now I'm at another four star out of season resort hotel. I think there are only three guests tonight.
Tomorrow I'm going for a long day to get within easy distance of Sicily. When I looked at Google maps it gave three options to get there. When I put the address in the bikes Garmin sat nav it gave only two, both of which were longer and looked less interesting so I'm going to use the rubber phone mount I've put in the bike so just such occasions and use Google maps to get me to tomorrows hotel.
It's called Lions head and it is in Cartolano looking out over the Tyrrhenian sea.Read more
