Flat, flat, flat!
That's all today was, I did not climb any substantial hills and the weather was much better than the last days in Venice.
I tried taking advantage of the good weather by cycling more than normal. I had a bit of a side wind but that really didn't bother me.
I found myself swearing at the locals today, not only because of the constant staring which really bothers me because it doesn't take much effort to approach me and ask a question which doesn't bother me at all.
Anyway, some of the money I spent today was on some socks and tights, it was only after I purchased the tights I realized they were for women as there was no room for movement, if you know what I mean; I ended up stretching them out and now they are good.
Not much else to say today... Seeing the Alps from where I cycled today I am very pleased that I got the weather I did for when i cycling over them because now they are covered in snow.
I found a decent camping spot in a somewhat muddy but secluded area beside the road i cycled on but annoyingly I have a barking dog that won't shut up nearby.
It's going to be a cold one tonight, at least it's not raining like it did yesterday.

When there are bike paths they are rather irritating… as you can imagine. This doesnt mean that i stopped at every stop sign.
