Off to Milan

September 20, 2024

I am sitting in the lounge in Belfast awaiting my flight to LHR and then on to Milan. I will overnight there and then take the train to Riccione on Saturday to catch up with Cindy and Charlie. The first order of business is a massage to soothe my tired legs. The summary of this tour includes a distance of 978km/611mi with 65,824ft/19,947m of climbing in 12 days. I have 20 new friends and cycling partners and a much better appreciation of my ancestral home. The next 2 rest days are welcome before more riding in the beautiful Le Marche region of Italy.

I was less than impressed with BA and I still despise Heathrow airport despite attempts to make it work better. I settled into an airport hotel and crashed. I didn’t realize I was so tired until I hit the very comfortable bed tonight.

We had a real treat last night staying in the 5* Titanic Hotel. It is located right beside the museum and has many touches on the inside like a ship or memorabilia from shipping companies or ships. This is the closest I want to get to an ocean cruiser.

The doors to the rooms look like bulkheads.

The Titanic museum that I visited the last time I was here.
