We discover something worse than climbs… Headwind!
Here was the problem. Gale force winds pummel us the whole way. It was like riding 400 miles uphill. And that is NOT an exaggeration!
Just a note that excellent prosciutto has its drawbacks – like the whole area smelling like pig farms. Love this sign. Three happy little pigs marching off to become Parma ham.
Better view of Torrechiara in the sun
Whoops. We were supposed to take this road. Ah well, detour took us on a bikes only road for a few miles.
Finally! Our cute b&b.
We light off for an uphill walk to the fortified town. Sights along the way - this Ducal palace
More amazing little side streets
And doodads
And gardens
And the top of town. The Castle, or what’s left of it
Alright, let’s get up to the top of this place!
Some exhibits on the way up…
Helmet fashion through the ages
Still crazy windy
A few views from the top
