Today's ride by far was the most uninspiring and boring on SR2 route, we were mostly riding on a barren plateau of 200-250m, no trees and rest place for us to really take a rest away from the hot burning sun,hardly any souls around except those comfortably inside their cars.And this continued for nearly 60 km, finally we saw one restaurant along the road which we quickly stop for a cool drinks and top up spare water, we almost runs out of water.I don't even remember passing thru any towns, or maybe they are too small that you didn't even realise it when you zoom pass, no wonder that my ave speed is quite high at 19.2 kmh.Anyway a boring day but ends in a happy note, it was in the 2nd restaurant that initially we stopped for some enquiries about next town?how far?any camping? preparing ourself for wild camp. But a smart Annie asked the owner on whether we can put up our tent in his wide grassy compound, surprisingly the answer is a "yes". Later joining us are 2 American young cyclists,Matt and Andrew,just started 2 days from Rome in opposite direction.Ivan/Annie joined them for dinner in the restaurant, while I prefer to own cook with foods already bought earlier.
