About midday today we were coasting down from the last significant hill climb we need to do when we were greeted by a welcome sight; Sicily baked in sunlight! It marks 13 days of toiling through lush alpine mountains, splendid coastline, scorched countryside, and a exhausting spell in the southern mountains.
Yesterday we completed our largest hill climb to date; scaling a mountain just outside Cosenza, where we had stayed the night, which passes through the 1050 meter mark at its tip - around the same height as Snowdon. We then dropped immediately down to sea level over the course of a few kilometers (which means it was a pretty rapid decent!) - and all before breakfast!
The day ended in Vido Valencia following another 500 meter climb from sea level.
This morning we zipped our way down the coastline for 83km to catch the ferry to Sicily - which is where I'm writing this.
The water is crystal clear and blue. Just a couple more days until I can have a long awaited dip!!
