two hundred and twenty nine

20.9.03    Col du Bernardo - Aosta - Pavia,  229 km 8:43 h
I had a really good sleep. I went to the pub on the other side of the lake last night, had to cross the boarder, that was quite funny. I was not the only one in the pub. There were two school classes and a couple of other guys. The pub was really cheap, one beer was only about 2€ (the pub was in Italy, the hostel was in swiss). Even though the beer was cheap I didn't drink much, I was too tired of the riding but I really liked that place.

going down

The first 40 km's were really amazing. I hadn't to do anything, I went only down for about an hour.

in the city

 

From Aosta I had to ride through a valley. It was really lovely over there, I passed a lot of different types of buildings.
