Rooming near the Rhine on the Swiss-German border.
The rain let off 30mins after I left Lovere and headed towards Bergamo. It was overcast but dry as I sped through Milan towards the Alps.
As I reached the Italian Alps it hammered down and I got a bit wet - very low visability too. It cleared up as I entered Switzerland, so much so that by the time I stopped and took this picture I had dried out.
Some of those alpine tunnels were 15km long, downhill all the way and searingly hot inside; I don't recommend it for claustrophobic bikers!
They wanted 300 quid a night for a room in Zurich, bloody cheeky gnomes! So I kept going here to Basel where it's much less expensive.
Germany tomorrow! (Note to self: don't mention the war.)
