We have made it to Cuneo. Now it’s your turn to play!
First and foremost, a huge thank you for all the ❤️ 👍 and 🔥 on our posts - it truly means the world to us! Pascal is also now sure it’s all working properly 🤪
We joke, but these new blog features are no small thing! Pascal tells me that normally this kind of development would take a few weeks, but thanks to AI, it all came together in just a few days. How cool is that?
We’ve made it to Cuneo on Sunday, in the very end of the valley, surrounded by snow-capped Alps. It involved quite a bit of climbing… and we’ll admit, after lunch the idea of hopping on a train did briefly cross our minds since we were pretty wiped out! But only for a moment. We got back in the saddle after eating delicious Pinsa, and off we went! 🚴🏼🚴🏻♀️
We arrived in a charming little city that feels like a pocket-sized Turin, with a grid of lovely streets, a big square main piazza Galimberti (neoclassical style), and colourful facades all around. We ended up in a gorgeous little apartment located right above… a gelateria. Clearly, the universe was sending us a sign, and that’s what sealed the deal: we’re taking a rest day here in Cuneo! 🍦
On Sunday, the roads were full of weekend cyclists. Every time we’d pass each other, we’d exchange a little wave and a cheerful “Ciao!” or “Salve!”, like old friends. There’s something wonderful about that sense of community among fellow bikers.
This marks the end of the Italian leg of our journey. We’ll be hopping on the train on Tuesday from Cuneo to cross the Alps, an impassable wall for our heavily loaded bikes, all the way to Ventimiglia on the mediterranean coast, and then on to Menton, France.
Anne, the true friend that she is, reassured me that the ice cream on the French Riviera is also wonderful. Crisis averted, we’re going to be just fine! 😄 That said, I do wonder whether I’ll still find my favourite Italian flavours there…
And speaking of which, here comes a little quiz! 🎉
To test the brand new comment feature on the blog (yes, you can now leave comments, go ahead and try it!), and to see who’s been paying close attention, I have a question for you:
👉🏼 « What is Séverine’s favourite ice cream flavour? »
⚠️ Rules: your answer (as a comment) must be written in Italian.
Those of you who’ve been following the blog closely will have a clear advantage, and here’s a small hint: i failed to choose it only once.
I’ll be announcing the winner (or winners!) in a few days 😊
