After bidding goodbye to Matt and Andrew,we started the ride early 8.45 am on opposite directions.We are heading Rome while Matt and Andrew is heading the way we came.Our target today originally is to find camping in Viterbo, and is supposed to pass thru 3 lakes: Lake Boisena,Lake Di Vico and Lake Bracciano, but in the end we only managed to see Lake Boisena where many campings offering best views of the lake, but it was rather too early for us to end the day, expecially for Ivan/Annie, so we moves on hopping the other 2 lakes will offer the same lakeviews,but somehow or rather at Viterbo after shopping at incoop supermarket,I suggested to take a smaller road S204 which is nearer to the lakes than the SR2, when we were on S204 and at one stretch heading to the mountain, both wanted to turn back to Viterbo on SR2 , but one local cyclist advised to take the Soriano road which is longer but less hilly but will miss the 2 lakes that mentioned. This road is not touristic, so chances of finding camping is out. We filled up our bottles with a public tap at Vignanello and ends a long tiring ride wild camping in an olive farm.
