Day 4 Chiavenna - Milano (125 km)

That my navigation phone was probably not to be saved then at some point I also realized. (Hope died last night) so I had to wait in Chiavenna until the first bike store opened, until 9 o'clock. They had cell phone mounts that fit, even affordable. Until I then drank coffee and the second cell phone trimmed on navigation was 10 o'clock, so you can also fritter away time. Then it went off. Steadily downhill towards Lake Como. What a beautiful landscape. Hardly arrived at the lake it went there long, left, right, not the best bike path, but also not the worst. My navi suggested me quite progressive to take the ferry across the lake. The navi for cycling! I decided against it. Why the Navi suggested me the way became fast clear. In the "Galleria" (tunnel) cycling is forbidden. Lights on, sunglasses off and through. I love unlit pothole tunnels. Then came a little rain in addition. I tried now the poncho. That also works quite well, but you also start to sweat under it. After the rain had subsided I decided to try the light clothing method. The next rain will drive through without rain gear and looked after whether the drying on the body is tolerable. In August in Italy that should work, right? Today I had all the ways, from muddy single trails over pothole gravel roads, good as bad roads and 2 km AUTOBAHN!!!! Okay, okay officially it wasn't one. Before Lecco was a tunnel, the signs in front said no horse drawn carriages and hand drawn carriages, two older cyclists looked at me in amazement as I turned into the tunnel, the two were standing on a strip next to the roadway as I entered. I could hear the traffic already as a sign appeared on my left, Autobahn end and I got onto the two lane. Out of the tunnel, along the lake, on the left the car raced past me partly without distance. I was not quite sure, until then a racing cyclist passed me. Two kilometers later then a sign, everything without engine capacity (pedestrians, cyclists, mopeds, tractors) right out, left the sign highway. So the Italians are clever. Just change the definition of the road. Then it went for me further direction Milan. Marco waited. The route was not very good now also the bike lanes are not well the roadside is more sexy despite the cars not driving at a distance. At Marco, first big Palaver, clear, old stories told, new given to the best. Laughed at the same old stories. Beautiful. Then we are still to a cell phone store, also here one said to me, the cell phone although it still twitches will not be to be saved any more. Heleen (yes the one from the Innsbruck tour asked me if I lost my pictures, no is not the first destroyed phone, have all the pictures fortunately backed up, set up the apps again, that will rather the thing now). So off to Medienstore and get a new one. Then we went for a typical Milanese meal. It was delicious and then I went to bed dead tired. Now I can first write the blog and now set up the new phone then it goes to coffee sightseeing and possibly I continue today at noon, possibly not. Look at me, in this sense, have a nice day!
