<\/a> yet warm, humid day and the breeze that started to breathe life into the flags last night, had picked up to full speed….in our face<\/em>. \u00a0All the bikers traveling in the opposite direction enjoyed the push<\/a>and we enjoyed the overcast, as we rode our last miles along the Mediterranean Sea.<\/a>Though we missed the crystal clear blues the sun created on the waters<\/a>we still enjoyed the morning\u00a0<\/a> and what it had to offer.<\/a>Within an hour, as we started inland<\/a>the sun burned through and started it’s bake.<\/p>\nand we had to shake our heads in disbelief when we drove straight to the doorstep of our hotel with no problems or U-turns. \u00a0But we were still tired and hot after our 41 miles in the 100 degree heat, so we’ll ‘chill’ until this evening and tour tomorrow. \u00a0We will have a few days in the city, before we head back to the States. It may be a day or two before we can share pictures of the city though, as we need to figure out the logistics of getting the bikes ready to swim home.\n\t\tA little melancholy about our last day of biking and thought seriously about staying, after all the bar already had Jerry’s name on it!<\/a>Encouraging waves and a couple one minute drafts helped to pull us along.<\/a>After about twenty miles our road became more like a national highway. \u00a0Though there was really no beautiful countryside or scenery to speak of, we were <\/em>happy see that most of the traffic was heading to the beach,<\/a> while we were heading to the city. \u00a0“We” had been quite apprehensive about actually getting into <\/strong>and navigating<\/em> the streets of Rome (we’d heard about the horrible traffic in the city), hence the Sunday arrival. \u00a0But the roads were almost bare <\/a><\/p>\n
