It was another gorgeous day, a bit chilly (mid-50s), clear and sunny.
By 9:00, we were walking to the All4cycling bike shop 1.5 miles away. I had emailed the store a couple weeks ago, and they had agreed to hold two shipping boxes for us. When we arrived, we found a large, busy shop. They had our boxes saved in the back room, and gave us all the packing materials inside as well.
Back on the road, lugging our big bike boxes. We had a short stretch on a busy, narrow highway bridge, but otherwise, the walk was pretty easy, and mostly downhill back to the apartment.
On the way, we stopped at an Action store (like a Dollar General) and bought packing tape.
By noon, we were on the terrace eating a crackers, cheese, meat, olives, pears, walnuts, and honey lunch.
By 13:00, we had finished our lunch and planned one more bike ride. We are going to cycle around Lake Varese tomorrow. It looks like there is a real path, not a highway, around the lake. It is 19 miles long. We will leave the bikes together for one more day.
