Hard day .. bad roads .. very strong wind .. a lot of difference .. and desert wilderness .. desert .. the height of despair, I thought: I’m not doing the tour of Piedmont, Italy and around even the tour of Europe … I’m doing around the world! And this is all part of the game! And so I went back in the saddle Hobo and slowly I continued my journey in Peru hard!

Here is the new Italo-Argentine team! It was added Alejandro driving our new home for South America! Today I left Buenos Aires to ride to the south! At one point, a huge sun disappeared behind the horizon and passing over a bridge a fisherman boy stretched out his hand to give me 5! The gesture touched me and made ​​me understand that even though more than 15 thousand miles away from home in reality I already felt at home!

Here I am in Valencia city with a thousand colors! It’s Sunday and the smell of churros invades the city. I get lost in the narrow alleys and smile looking at the happy people around the streets. Today I do not watch the speedometer and speed. Today I’m enjoying the journey. Why do I have to learn to savor every moment, easy or difficult it is to this great trip!

Barcelona! Come now after 222km, 1.500mt rise and 12ore30 pedaling! Around 18 I wanted to stop. I saw Barcelona too far! I could not concentrate mentally! Then I said to myself: my goal tonight was Barcelona, ​​I’m not tired and I have no reason to do the whining! I see the Columbus monument, I thought you were all riding with me, I turned on the lights and continued for 3 hours! Behind me, my angels gave me the strength to get there! I looked at the speedometer and I was at 29! I thought I could get to the moon tonight! And here I am in Barcelona!
