I spent two months cycling around the south of Italy enjoying (in this order) the food, meeting up with my Erasmus friends, the food, the company of the long-distance-French-touring-cyclist called Virgile, the cycling and the food. I wouldn’t have minded a few less prowling men, but to be fair, the food made up for it. Or had I mentioned the food already…?

    Brilliant Al! Great blog with excellent pics, but a few more of your well crafted words needed. Be brave, you write well. And don’t forget to mention the food or did you already?!

      Oh Crosbie. I know, but it’s so exposing to put your words online! I will try harder next time. Look out for the “Balkans” edition.
