Thinking to reduce profligacy we decided to stay in a hostel in Bolzen. What a mistake. E70 and we were deposited in a students room with two beds. Breakfast was pitiable and the room tiny and obviously not what we were promised at the tourist info, then to boot we had this insufferable priest telling me to walk three blocks to get cash and then tried to shake my hand at the end.....I was livid and not oin a good state..... when I complained both to peiropaulo and the Tourist information without any reduction and left the place feeling bad. Coffee and markets and then a beautiful bike path out of Bolzen lifted my spirits again...Straight down the Adige this time with the Dolomiti plunging into the valley on either side. A pair of German girls fully loaded Ortliebs of course had a book which reassured us from time to time of the proximity to Trentino.
The hotel for hot feet was great, just off the path and WiFi to boot with a lift. guess what only E90..
Sheila and I were very grateful for the friendly staff and the lack of four pages of rules ...just the price which was lacking in the crooked Don Bosco dump...
The ride today was beautiful though long at nearly 60ks.
