We met up with the Italian cyclist again. Heinz is his name and he is actually from a northern part of Italy where they speak German. As he was a bit unsure of the route he road with us today.

Out of nowhere we passed a vegan place. Awesome food for a great price and one of the people who worked there knew pretty good English and was stoked we were vegan.

We split up with Heinz for a bit in the hills. Again the heat was worse than the climbing.

It was amazing how quickly the landscape changed. Even the local people in this area seemed to have their own ways.

We met back up with Heinz in town and were happy to find a hotel. This was the one stop we were a bit worried about, since the Internet didn’t come up with anything and we were just going with a tip from another blog. Off to go try and track down some dinner.
