It ain't 'alf 'ot Mum!!
Tuesday 22nd May
I thought it was me who was feeling the heat, but now I realise that all the Italians are feeling it as well! After leaving camp site in Alba, made my way to Allesandria, after stopping of at beautiful little hillside village of Neive. By the time I had got to Allesandria I was pretty exhausted by the heat, so although the Youth Hostel that I found there was a bit strange, I was pleased to find a clean bed and a shower. Found a great little pizza bar, where I enjoyed great pizza, large beer and glass of beer for 8 euros. Two very jolly fat Italians running the bar.
Wednesday 23rd May
It's getting hotter. Apparently 33 - 35°C. But felt better today. Made my way to Pavia, and found good campsite. Had quite a long chat with Dutch couple and a Belgian Cyclist who was towing all his gear on a little trailer - I reckon I could have managed the cast iron bath after all, Magoo!
Thurday 24th May
Got up early and all packed up before 8.30, so as to try and get some miles in before it gets too hot. Good tactics, because I managed 40 miles before 1.00. Arrived in Cremona, which is where I am now. I've just got directions to camp site.
Lovely town. Not too far to Bologna now, and a few days break.
