Saturday 27th August 2011


I started packing and finding somewhere to stop as the room I'd been using had someone else coming along to fill it. There was a big rain storm for an hour in the morning though which cooled things off nicely.

Previously I'd found a hotel in Bormio near the Italian/Swiss border that specialises in bike holidays and they are offering a week half board including free bike rental (Pinarello) for about the same as I paid in Majorca. I will be going there straight from visting Andrea so will need to add on a couple of days prior to the official week. I've booked the Chunnel back to the UK but I've got a flexy ticket so can change it to whenever I want and can also get some food there when I arrive. I've yet to decide what to fill the remaining time with... One option is to come back home early and then fly to Rome. I feel I should go there but I'm not driving there from here and taking the train means finding somewhere to put most of my stuff and my car while I'm there.

At lunch the Faller B+B association confirmed that they had no rooms available so Anita tried a place next to the lake I'd previously visited to see Giorgio fishing and for the rescue dog demonstration. They had a room for €30 a night for 3 nights and I could go along at 4pm for a look. Sorted!

4pm was approaching so I followed Giorgio and Anita to the B+B. Looks a nice place. I unpacked most of the car and chilled out on the balcony reading my Marco Pantini comic style book. After something bit my elbow I decided to cover up.

Nice view from the B+B balcony

Later on I went back to Seren to collect the bike and stopped to watch some TV with Chiara and the cat. I slept long and well once back in my new place although I recall another crazy dream, 2nd in as many days.
