Biking to Cortina

We got pretty lucky during these two days. For Monday the weather forecast promised cloudy but not rain and for Tuesday it promised rain for the whole day. Well, we decided to stay in Markus' practice for the whole day on Monday, searching and writing down some BOSU ball exercises and it turned out that IT was the rainy day. Today on the other hand, we biked to Cortina, which took us pretty much the whole day, and it only rained when we reached back to Niederdorf!

The bridge
Best cake ever! Only 3,50!!! should bike here every day.
Cortina is 32 kilometers from Niederdorf, South from Toblach. The route was familiar all the way to Dürrensee, which is located halfway. We used the opportunity to take some cakes in the nice restaurant next to Dürrensee and continued forward. It was downhill from Dürrensee to Cortina and the scenery was magnificent on the way. We biked in the middle of the mountains and next to a clear light blue river, cycled over a bridge that crossed the river frighteningly high and pedaled through dark tunnels through the mountains.
Creepy tunnels!

Cortina is beatifully surrounded by mountains
It felt easy to reach Cortina where we ate and checked out some shops, but the way back to Dürrensee was uphill. Fortunately it wasn't a steep uphill, but uphill all the same and Aino felt all ready tired. However, we stopped a lot to take pictures so it didn't feel so bad after all.

So we sure learned that the weather forecasts are pretty much the same as they are back in Finland... only broken promises.
