Bardone to Berceto, supposed to be 20+ km but we only did 10! Cool with a few rays of sun in the morning but cool, overcast, and misty the rest of the day.
….and a few downs but mostly, today we climbed.
Spectacular scenery. My pics don’t do justice to what we saw. We started off on steep paved roads with little traffic so we were quite happy with those conditions.
Then conditions changed…..very very steep up, on a rocky path for quite a few kilometers.
Found some friendly gnomes at the top, a bit worse for wear, me included.
Some sweet markers along the way..
And before we knew it, we had popped out onto a paved road, took a shortcut, and were in Cassio sharing a plate of spaghetti.
While we were eating spaghetti, Mike checked the bus schedule. We were cold and wet (warmed up in the cafe though and didn’t want to walk any more) and a bus would be coming by within the hour, so we were ready to jump on when it came. It was nice and warm too.
Now we are at the lovely B&B La Casa dei Nonni, showered, laundry being done, nice and warm, making arrangements with friend Brian to head out for dinner. Already made arrangements for a ride tomorrow as it is going to rain heavily and we don’t want to tackle the steep up and then down of the Cisa Pass in the pouring rain. 2 -3 inches of rain predicted.
ENIGMAS 
Chub wants you to know… if he had known you were going to ride everywhere… we would have come along!😉😁😘
I said…. you two are smart to take care of yourselves! 😘
Another great and interesting day! Beautiful pics!!
Chub and Carol
I’ve never seen it rain so hard!!!! All the pilgrims were walking on the road-I guess because the trail was impassable. And there was so much fog we couldn’t see a thing. Still raining all day today so we may take a bus tomorrow! C’mon over😂😂😂
OK we will be on the shuttle. Chub has an Italian class 4 license!😉
