I decided to annoy you with my #EscapeToItaly trip. Weather in the Northern Alps is meh now, so might as well. The goal is to bike for 5 days and then volunteer to rebuild an old house for 5 days. And then join my partner who will pick me up in a camper van for 5 days.
1st part. Departing Domodosolla. The windy windey roads still in the mountains are super cute. Leaving behind opulent mansions, I'm heading East, North. Next stop Como.
2nd part of the first day. Arriving to Como. The views are very much worth it now and the hostel has an über cute secret garden.
2nd day went mostly around lake Como and oh my goodness. So much nicer. So cuter. So many things to see.
Right from Como there was some sort of a bike race, so today I was by far the slowest cyclist 
Half way through my bike started squeaking, so I made an emergency stop at a bike rental and the amazing guy gave me some oil for free.
Once I turned away from the lake and head up to the mountains, the headwind died and route got drier 
Day 3: 1km up as a first thing in the morning and then wheeeeeeeee down for nearly 35kms. Gorgeous views and totally worth it part of the trip.
@MichalBryxi These views, people giving you stuff for free… Michal, can you check for me if there is a surprisingly human-like animal nearby? A huge, very lush tree? Maybe just some unusual things you see out of the corner of your eye?
I’m just curious if you’re in a live-action adaptation of a Ghibli film.
@alsorew Alps are awesome. Italians (outside of cars) are awesome.
Maybe the inspiration for those movies comes from Italy?
