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!
24th March
I’m in Buenos Aires! The city of Papa Francesco and my grandmother! Start a new long adventure in the magical South America!

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!
13th March
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!
11th March
Fourth stage over! Other 205km taken home! Marseille – Frontignan! We are close to the border! I can already hear the scent of paella! Today I cried as I pedaled! I was happy! I am traveling the world by bike! I was against the wind, I was going to 18 per hour on the flat, and I was the seventh hour of pedaling! But I do not give a damn! I am traveling the world by bike! Now chocolate, shower and jelly! A hug to everyone!
