Yellow Line Tour - Typical Day

6am
Alarm goes of and I emerge from the tent to prepare breakfast while Wendy packs away the sleeping bags and tent.

7am
On a good day we are cycling by this time and the sun is on our backs. With luck we have a pass to climb to get the adrenaline pumping.

Mid-morning
Stop to pick up food for lunch and probably a snack to keep us going.

12.30ish
With luck we find a stupendous view away from the road where we can eat too much bread and cheese before dozing in the warm sun. Or we seek shelter from the rain and get going quickly to avoid getting cold.

4-6
Hopefully, after completing 80-120km, we find a glorious isolated spot to camp, but lately, around Aosta this is difficult so may have to settle for a campsite.

Evening
Write blogs/diaries, prepare and eat our meal then have a game of cards before retiring to the tent at around 10, when Wendy sleeps and I read for a bit.
