L 'hostel in Lugano is a show ! It also has a swimming pool surrounded by a garden with beautiful flower beds, a real chic, as they say my Sicilian relatives ....
I go out very early to take some photos, My legs look good.
7.30 am breakfast "ultra" and at 8:15 I leave for the more challenging and difficult stage of this extraordinary tour. The Gotthard waiting for me! From Lugano
take the main road that leads to the pass of Mount Ash.
back in the pain in his left knee, cabbage and bring all that you do? I have to do more than 120 km of up and down ...
I stop before starting the climb into a pharmacy to buy a pain reliever, hopefully good .. it seems that everything works.
top of the hill in a flash here and the signs specific to Bellinzona, also specify the path, takes me straight to the canton of St. Gotthard ..
Today, however, will pay the bill of the Bologna-Piacenza stage: in fact the knee continues to hurt.
I stop again, I try to raise the saddle a cm hoping it will serve to ease the pressure on the pedal .. the road goes up and the "cottarellla" comes ... and so, after only 100 miles, should I give up.
I stop to Airolo, a village at 1310 meters to climb from 15 km Gotthard, finding accommodation at the 'hostel accommodation "The Sunflower".

All 'hostel gargliadetto and leave my usual photos with the owner!
All in all maybe it's better this way: I rest, recovery and tomorrow will defeat the "dragon Gottardo" .
He asks me how I am and invites me to his house if I had got into difficulties.
Thanks friend Joseph
