After an overnight ferry from Croatia, we are now in Ancona, Italy. It’s time to make some decisions. Up and until now we have been immensely enjoying the freedom of just taking each day as it comes; stay an extra day here, take a left instead of the originally planned right “just because”. But, a quick look at the calendar and the map and it’s obvious that if we want to get to all the places we want to see before the weather changes, we need to get a move on. So we have a decision to make. Where to go from here?
We’ve basically narrowed it down to two options. 1) We can cut across Italy through the flat, monotonous and at times industrial Po valley in order to get to France as quick as possible. Or 2) Take a much longer route through Tuscany and Umbria. Tuscany and Umbria is probably some of the best cycling in the world, but we have been before and like I said, we’re pressed for time. So, cycle through areas that may look like this or through scenery like this. Hmmm, right…decision made. Why were we debating this again? Yet another detour it is.
