Day 29: Lake Iseo, Italy

Stats... 80,19km in 4hrs 36mins. We packed up the bikes and car, had breakfast said fairwell to parents and wished eachother a bon voyage. We headed East out of Milan and took a breath of fresh air as we left the smog of the city. Although the roads leaving Milan were still extremely busy and still no bike paths it was a fast road and enabled us to get our heads down and clicks under our belt. It was tiring concentrating so hard due to the traffic and having our bags back on the bike was a shock to the system. Stopped at 3pm after the supermarket reopened for some lunch. The weather started quite nice and sunny but ended raining. We arrived at our campsite on the edge of the lake and had a paddle. We camped on solid ground as the grass area was swamped. We showered and went to bed at 8pm as we were shattered. We missed dinner and slept right through til 8am! As an aside, we would like to thank everyone for their comments and we would love to reply to them but we are having trouble doing so. Also, thanks to Jackie and Freddie for my birthday present!
