Day 34 September 18th

Fano to Ancona 45 miles in 5 hours

They had pleasant weather and set off from Fano in good spirits. 48 miles went past in three hours along the Adriatic coast road. The only negative was a large number of lorries as this is the main route down to Bari and the crossing to Greece. The town of Ancona itself is not particularly inspiring.

On arrival they asked the way to the village on the outskirts of Ancona where they had booked a hotel which had been recommended to them by some friends in England who had been there. However, these friends had failed to grasp the fact that the intrepid duo were on a tandem and not in a car!! They set off in eager anticipation on rest and food. It was only 7 miles.........................It took them two hours of hard slog and tears up a vertical lane which twisted up a precipitous mountain. Their will nearly broke........But they made it. They sounded completed knackered when they called your blogging reporter. Hey ho!
