Somehow the night passed ... we open our eyes and we see that the fabric of the tent has taken on a gray-blue ... It will be when the sun already?
Yes, are 6.45 and Kappa can breathe a sigh of relief ... thought he had slept a few hours.
leather with a snap cat rushes out of the tent, of course, the dose of "adventure" and was uncomfortable enough and the desire to escape from the hell you feel ... :-)
Sl4sh Kappa and wake up with more phlegm, but without exaggeration. We meet without delay to pack in too many compliments ... until the evening before had been told to take it calmly, without haste or anxiety, but a series of text messages that warn of bad weather forecast for Sunday, we did change their minds quickly.
New Plan: fugone!
In the end, we spent the night in tents, the adhesive patch and we have them and the "elephants" are sleeping off the hangover ... what to do with them yet?
We enjoy a few moments for the first signs of revival of the pit, with bike lying on the ground, including vomiting and ... other fluids.
then arranging for the departure is pretty fast.
Skin stays there to fight with the lighting of the Bonnie Scout while Kappa and Sl4sh you wear on the way to tie your luggage to their motorcycles.
Near us there is a forlorn-looking motorcycle with a BMW R1100RS rather battered front and spattered with mud ... typical signs of a fall ... At first we think of a "smart" owner who has bitten off more than you can chew walking around in the snow pit ...
actually find that it is not so ...
And 'he who approaches us is a biker forum member Tingavert.it, left alone by his teammates, who asks us to help get closer to Monaco. He does not know the road and hit but also a bit 'angry as happened the night before seems to have slipped on the ice a few miles from the rally.
We welcome relief in the hills four and we throw ourselves on the highway as soon as possible: the plan for the return does not include discounts.
The miles pass: do quick stop for petrol, plus a fix for a chemical warmer a bit 'exuberance that are trying to burn a hand in Kappa ... :-)
The weather, fortunately, even now are decent.
However, the sun can not be seen and the sky is of that "gray-snow" that does not bode well ...
After about 100 km of highway can not we have more. Luckily on the way back we use the "shortcut" way to circumvent state Monaco ... definitely better.
The road cuts through ice and snow fields and pay attention to the center lines frozen. In short reach and then again Taufkirchen Rosehneim
It 's just the time to make a nice break! It's cold and we're hungry ...
We go into town and we throw in the coffee that comes first. There is
of luck: the local community is comfortable and nice and we can eat something warm.
Perhaps this is also a bit to dissolve 'the Biemwuista that tells us about his adventure in more detail ... the atmosphere is peaceful, friendly, even if the other customers look at us with a mixture of curiosity and enough ... ah! these bikers ... :-)
We look to the house where the sky gets very dark: not bode well, but we can not help but be transported.
We come back and we are swallowed up by the highway traffic in a queue that never seems to end. In this way is not easy to stand together and soon we detach from each other. Fortunately the road is simple: straight!
We are now at the Brenner. The friend Biemwuista we "lost" for a while '. From the corner of the eye had seen entering a motorway in Austria, because it was behind us, we have not had a chance to say goodbye ...
It's cold, very cold, but at least it does not snow and not rains.
slows the pace, the road surface is covered with salt and visibility is not optimal. Once in Bressanone
instead awaits an incredible blue sky and a blinding sun literally!
But we're back in Italy and the worst seems past. We find ourselves in yet
all roadside restaurants for a refreshment stop.
Elephants Meet other Italians, is strong evidence from the trip, as we do. In a Sicilian group stands alone in riding a Guzzi California II and tessellated with high wing, very nice and polite.
get coffee, which gives us him as tall and dates of goodies he tries in vain to recover from its Storage. We, in return, we offer a sip of brandy.
must arrive to catch the ferry to Livorno, then aggregates.
We share together, but unfortunately we lose it almost immediately, thanks to yet another queue that California can not dribble as easily as our bikes. It 'was a very nice beginners between the Elephant ... shame to have missed it ...
joints near Verona divide us. Kappa and Skin opt for Cisa: reports from home snow is expected in Piacenza in the hinterland of Genoa.
Sl4sh other hand, is much closer to home and with no great difficulty to reach the A4.
Greetings, hugs and kisses, happy for the experience!
Leather
near Mantua starting to show signs of slowing ... Along with Kappa decide for a refreshment stop at a motorway service station Fini ... are 20.30 and still claim the stomach.
The two are beginning to fear of not being able to get home in the evening and to be a little tired ...
But after putting a new set of chemical warmers share equally in the direction of Parma, and it remains to be seen whether the Cisa Pass is feasible.
A1: salt scattered everywhere now makes them seem more like anchovies typical of Genoese maritime tradition that the bikers ... :-) threatening light panels show a peremptory tone upcoming snow ... We would like to teleport to extricate by quell'impiccio! In Parma
turn for the A15 ... now the panels are more "reassuring" fog signal only between Fornovo and Pontremoli, a great distance, I must say ...
with bated breath our entering the fog bank ... is dense and reduces any noise, do not see anything beyond 20 meters and the speed is reduced drastically: 40, 50 km / h, not more.
Climb in the third.
The traffic is almost nonexistent.
Two motorcyclists in the fog that face the mountain: the true finale of this adventure. However
everything goes quiet and exceeded the top of the fog clears.
skin is destroyed but you can not stop now ... are the last 100 km!
In Liguria the situation is better, chemical warmers are still their duty and traveling very well ... At 00.30
finally come to the highway where the board last effort - the most difficult:-D - is the very high price to pay toll of 35 € ...
