A Random Sunday on the 3rd of June

Sun, Cycling, Seafood, Sea, Sand and of course...ice-cream.

So today, my friend and I joined a cycling rally!! I think it was in fact a protest to highlight the need for a cycle path all the way along the Adriatic coastline if the Abruzzo region. Anyway.

The beginning (for us at least)

On Saturday we bumped into a man we had previously met at a concert, who told us about the cycle ride and we decided to go along. What else are Sunday's for?!  It turned out to be really busy, really relaxing and an all-round nice day.

The rally itself actually had a police escort as all the bicycles took up the width of road so that was pretty cool.  I've no idea how many bicycles (and roller-blades) there were but we didn't get a discount food voucher as they had run out, having only printed 200.
 

Lots of Cyclists

The Tower at the end of the route.

The End of the Route.

 After reaching the destination of Pineto, about 20km north of Pescara, my friend and I had a craving for Calamari so hunted down a fish restaurant after asking a local where the best place would be.   Once filled with food we headed for the beach and enjoyed a relaxing hour or so sun-bathing and swimming.  Then off we went back on the ride home.

Yummy, Spaghetti with Cockles

The Beach at Pineto

I had once been to a Gelateria (ice-cream shop) in a place called Silvi.  It happened to be a place between Pineto and Pescara so we stopped off on the way back.  I think that Gelataria is very good and I would even consider cycling there again, 3 flavours in the Medium size and a good portion too, fantastic!!
