Easy to glamorize life on the road. But it can be really difficult, between the half homelessness and the physical effort to manage, things can go wrong quickly.
We start the day slow, even if we woke up at 7h30, we only managed to leave the camp spot at 10h. I am not surprised, it is the first time we repack all the stuff on the road, it is definitely a process to get everything on our bikes.
Once we are in the road, we start pedaling like crazy people, sometimes stopping to adjust our gear, and biking position. Always worth it to stop before than later.
Sadly after barely an hour, Bianca’s knee starts hurting, behind, most likely because too high on the saddle, so we try to lower it, it works for a bit. But the pain keeps coming back.
The day is long, we keep going, and the road is difficult with all the traffic from the cities. But it is so beautiful, we also enjoy some nice bikepaths, but the whole coast is not yet covered which forces is back onto the road. It is Sunday as well, so there is traffic. We finay arrive in Genova.
Getting into and our of the city is a bit crazy, after crossing the whole town, and center, we stop in a cafe to take a rest, we had picked up Voltaren so Bianca rubs some here knee, while I am zoning our in the sun, we order a sandwich and a lemonade. Tonight, we are going to Recco, so time to get back on our bikes.
That last bit is quite exhausting, but we make it, and then there is the routine of supermarket, small apartment, cooking fresh raviolis, got some foccachia de recco, and then time to sleep!
The colors of that water are so vibrant! Absolutely Stunning!!!
