Simona, my hostess gave me a tip in the morning, the most beautiful beaches in Sardinia! Said you have to book in the summer on the Internet, she also said. Shall I drive past it. Since today's day was actually only 110 km on the plan, I thought a few more kilometers can not hurt. Memo to myself: Before you drive detours to the sight seeing make first a few kilometers. To the parting the really very nice woman gives me still a set with shaving foam and razor. What does she want to tell me with that? My plate is blank, maybe the scrub on my face? What do I know, after a long goodbye went to immediately feel the theme of the day. Wind! Violent, gusty, in the morning still from the side. Will already disappear, I thought to myself. So off I went, along the route that was called to me, only to stand after 10 km (just before it should go) at a roadblock (strada interrota). I must say both apps refused to load this route. Now I know why. So back or a way through the bush (app suggestion) or through and let's see? What makes me wonder, no cars, far and wide. So through. After a few lonely kilometers with beautiful views, Simona was right, was still no reason to see why the road has been closed. Then from the opposite side of the bay finally saw a white van coming behind me. It took another 5 minutes until he was with me. I stopped him and asked if the road was blocked. Believe he understood the mix of sign language and English. He answered in Italian. I think he said: "Don't worry, I drive through here every day", laughed and drove on. Okay?! I could already enjoy the view. Beautiful and lonely. Oh wonderful, can only recommend the video. Down the hill again came the road closed sign for the exit, now why the road was closed? No plan? Maybe the Sardinians have reserved a beach here? I would not hold it against them. Then continue, today over stick, river, tunnel, stone and construction sites. Really badly signed. Fortunately, no one had something against that I pushed bike through, otherwise I would have had to go back tens of kilometers. Through the river, both apps have sent me through the. Unfortunately, the way on the other side was once again closed by a gate. I'm back again, again through the river. Have I already mentioned the wind? 70 - 80 kilometers hardest headwind. At the beginning it changed, sometimes from the front, sometimes from behind, sideways. At some point only from the front. There one drives 20 km/h and suddenly after a gust is one with 0 km/h and must start again. Wall of Wind! So down into the triathlon position and pedal through. What a feat of strength. At some point it sucked, over stick and stone and sheep and headwind and I switched to the highway. Had also no more fun more for a rise, as Navi 1 suggested. Unfortunately, I did not pay attention to Navi 2 exactly what was coming. A 1.5 km long tunnel without shoulder. Oh man was I served afterwards. Therefore and because of a message. So the blog would read but anyway no one, for this one would be too lazy, I should but present the whole thing in a video short and sweet, that would be better. The news has been gnawing at me since yesterday. What kind of world do we live in? I'm sorry that I only provide information in text and otherwise withhold it. On that note, I'll call it a day and look forward to tomorrow. Climbing! Hopefully without wind! Good night and Mr. Putin, please stop the war.
