Day 48: this was a hard days ride up lots of hill along very narrow road and tunnels. Since starting this trip i've come the point of be at peace with the possablity of death by trific accident, but there are two things that still scare the *%^$ out of me. First being tunnels as they are normally badly lit and have no hard shoulder and trucks seems to take great delite in almost hit me, which bring me on two the secound point be nocked in to the side of a tunnel but left mutilated but a alive. if your are wonder where this is coming from there where lot of tunnells and i spent most of the trip thinking about this.
Day 49: no tunnels just crazy romen drives. it was when i enter the Rome its self that i became convidesd that every one was out to get me do they even have a trafic code here well if they do i can work it out..... im safe now in my hotel about to go eat so all well that ends well
p.s. happy B-day minkey Ben
Phew, you made it to Rome and through the tunnels in one piece. Good news. At least you have a few days to rest before flying the long journey to NZ. Hope that you love it there, I am sure you will.
