Day 12 Rome 40km

Sure, I fell in love. On new, again and again in this city and its inhabitants, if I could I would stay here, so I could, but we are here for cycling and I want to go back north, where it should be a bit cooler, towards the seventh seal ....ah Monaco. It will be a difficult farewell tomorrow. Longing, Wehmut, well but so it is always. When I'm old, older, I'll live here, here and in Genova and Stuttgart and Athens, New York, Dublin, Paris...... so probably more in a nursing home, where you are no longer taken for full, but hey the hope...... Today I write not from bed, but from the restaurant. Wait for my menu, if you are in Rome, you can also go out to eat, right? So once again, it will start with cheese and jam....... Was good! Left and right also sit "solo" guests and eat and talk on the phone via loudspeaker, talk and listen at the same time, very talented and since they have a lifetime experience (at least 60 years) with this kind of communication, they also shout. Anyway, now I'm waiting for the Raviolo, I'm curious...... . Also very good. What was today? Slept long and just got breakfast off, then off with the bike, Villa Borgese, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, there was really a lot going on everywhere, then on towards the Forum on the Capitol, then Aventine, then Caelius on the Palazzo you can not with the bike, i "tried". Then to the catacombs at the Parko Della Appia Antica (the catacombs (so in each) I can recommend to everyone, very informative the story is told there. So who believes in history and does not dismiss it as FakeNews, is rather complicated today. People are getting stupider and stupider, but paradoxically they think exactly the opposite would be the case). Now the main course (meat) should come soon ..... Mega tasty, so I do not eat much meat, but that was the best in years, period..... So yes after the catacombs then back again and instead of Esquilin (I have touched in the morning), Viminal (well that's small) and Quirinal (okay I did, also in the morning) again along the Tiber to the accommodation. It darkend and I had hope for rain, unfortunately no, but cooler it became a bit. In the accommodation was washing, packing, Germany tour, what's going on with Schalke and shopping, then on towards Castelo St'Angelo, still wanted beautiful evening shots (has worked) of Rome. So clouds just belong on a beautiful picture, best irradiated by a setting sun. Sometime I have to learn to get up with the sun, sunset can anyone. So unfortunately, the Castel Sant'Angelo closed before sunset, the 20€ (12 € entrance + coffee and water) were still worth it, I like this fortress. Thus, the consideration was how I still got good sunset shots? With the hills I was not so successful this time, so what to do? The good was so close. Where is the dessert? Creme Catalana (howler) and my espresso. The pictures taken at the Tiber speak for themselves, don't they? The rest is quickly told, eat.... And straight back to the hotel and sleep. In this sense, good night.
