Now we have to walk back down the hill, and this is a very well used very narrow bicycle path so have to keep looking behind and in front of us for cyclists, through town and back to our hotel. Maria left us in town to go to her home to prepare us dinner. We are tired- A long day and we walked a lot so both very tired. We are relaxing before we have to walk about ...

... over a pass to Italy. Since being in Italy we have found a really good cycle route that is a good surface and welled signed, except when land slides have crossed it's path. We are now in Trento and are hoping to be in Venice (our end destination) in 2 days time after passing through Verona.
