My B&B was a good choice; I started yesterday's day off relaxing on the terrace with a long breakfast. Today, I hiked toward Verona, a little higher up on the plain, so I could once again enjoy a beautiful view of the area. I reached the city via Castel S. Pietro – the view from there is fantastic! My

My hotel room had a freestanding bathtub with jets. Since I was feeling a bit under the weather last night and it wasn't very hot in Bosco Chiesanuova, I fancied a nice bath. The hotel was frequented by many elderly people from Verona who were spending the summer there with their children (who were almost

The bus took me to Chiesa Bosconuova in Lessinia.

Since I had originally planned to take the E5 for the rest of the journey, I had booked accommodation here. It's much cooler up here than on the plains, and since it's also beautifully green and mountainous, I took a short detour to enjoy some views. The

Today, Verona is at the end of the route. It's getting hot, so it's a good thing I was able to have breakfast at 7 a.m. I was worried that the sweet Italian breakfast I was expecting today wouldn't last long, since I had to specify in advance which kind of sweet croissant I wanted.

Today I cycled along a canal for a long time and didn't get close to the highway until late. You can tell it's the weekend because there were a few people out on bikes.

Along the way, a cyclist asked me where I was going. Interestingly, you often get tips about the area – and in this case, too – even

Yesterday, there was a snack platter and wine to taste, all on the beautiful terrace of the vineyard. Lots of information, too, of course. And this morning, our own olive oil – small producers can bring the olives to be pressed in the Garda Valley – as well as honey from our own meadows. This B&B was

My accommodation from yesterday to today was very special: firstly, everyone was incredibly nice, and secondly, it was a project for people with neurological disabilities, who run a restaurant and the B&B here, but also produce pasta and other specialties. In the long run, the young people will also

The highway dominates the valley, which is a bit of a shame, because the views are actually quite beautiful.

After a heavy thunderstorm yesterday, which started in the early afternoon and subsequently rained heavily, the morning was quite chilly. Here in the narrow valley, the mountains cast shadows
