🇫🇷🇮🇹 Part 50. Ribiers 🏍 Asti. 345km

I didn’t want to leave France with all its gorgeous gorges. But if I stayed a couple more days I’d get stuck for a week of rain. So I had to move and not exactly the way I had planned. I wanted to head down to the coast, pass through Nice, Monaco, Cinque Terre, Pisa, get a gelato in Florence, visit San Marino and end up in Venice. Instead I had to sprint across Italy in 3 days to get to Slovenia before the rain. So I visited a couple of lakes, said good bye to the mountains, and headed over to the Italian border, which I didn’t even notice, so seamless was the crossing. A few more smooth Alpine curves, and oh oops, traffic 😳 I got used to riding pretty much alone enjoying my solitude and the surrounding nature, and the last thing I could imagine was a traffic jam. But I was already in Italy and in Italy motorbikes don’t really follow the rules, in case of a traffic jam they just ride on the opposite lane as if it was absolutely fine. After I saw a few bikes do it, I decided to follow the example and skipped what was probably an hour long traffic jam. Then it was two boring hours of riding very straight very plain roads - I had completely forgotten they existed. I had only one thing in mind: pizza!! Counting down kilometers to the pizza place I had found. Can you imagine my disappointment when I finally got there just to figure out it was closed? Easter Monday.. everything was closed. I had no other choice than head to the hotel, which appeared to be a family owned villa in the middle of some beautiful hills. I was the only guest that night, the owners were having a glass of wine (celebrating Easter) and invited me to join. We had a really nice conversation them speaking Italian and me speaking English (and somehow it worked out pretty well). At 10pm I hurried to my room to get some rest for the next day’s ride.
