Crazy mountain trail

I took the route from Sanary to Marseille and there was this moment, where I made a fatal decision. Route de cretes means that there are mountains, right? Anyways I did it and sleeping at the hilltop was a once in a lifetime experience.

Von Nizza nach Sanary

From  Nice I started again and went to Cannes. I did not see much of the town because it was already very late and I wanted to go on in order to find a place to sleep.

If you look at the map there are some serious mountains but I have to say they were the highlights of the trip so far . You climb up and on your left there are always beautiful  valleys and to your right you have a panorama like in Switzerland . Then night fell and I slept at the beach.

In the middle of the night I had to go on because  moskitos were eating me up. But my light was not working. In France there are lights next to the roads but still I would not go far. So I slept in the entrance of some sort of castle . When morning broke I had the most wonderful sight  of a beautiful valley and old ruins.

Yesterday I arrived in Frejus which has a lively old town just to take a TGV to Toulon as I was hoping to make it to a diving trip in Hyeres. Also I had a couch at couchsurfing in Sanary . From Toulon to Sanary it was aawful with the wind and the sun burning but mercifully it was short.

My host here is working in a catering company and he cooked the best dinner I could imagine.

ANKUNFT IN NIZZA

Verrückte Woche. I am going to write in English because German is a pain in the ass with the phone.

First I thought  that  there are no routes for bikes at all and then there comes 30km of pure joy riding along the biggest cycling highway I have ever seen.

In detail reports are usually never read so I'll stay with the highlights.

Yes its hot and there are mountains, too.

The view is awesome. Especially , when you go downhill and at the hillside.

Two gay guys invited me for lunch. Man it must be great being a women .

I almost camped wild but the upcoming storm convinced me to seek shelter at the camping side, where it was possible to pitch the tent in time.

Allassio. A nice valley without tourists and such a beautiful place.

almost spend more time swimming and drinking cappucino during the day then cycling in the mornings  and evenings.

France!!! I really was shot of Italian traffic.

Aufbruch nach Genua

Nach einigem hin und her fange ich mit Genua an und fahre dann Richtung Westen. Das Packen war aufwändig und der Nachtzug wartet.
