Ringraziamo il signor Silvio di Stella Santa Giustina, per il suo “provvidenziale” intervento di riparazione freestyle che ci ha permesso di raggiungere la meta. Ci siamo concessi un po di momenti di dissolutezza marittima e domenica sera abbiamo raggiunto Albenga. Catapultati nel passato durante la sagra del paese veniamo sequestrati dai frati sbronzi della contrada di San Giovanni che ci hanno dato asilo a suon di litrate di merlot.

Grazie a Lorenza per l’ospitalità ad Alessandria dopo i primi 100km. Acquiterme, città dove Marco finalmente riesce a comprare un cazzo di libro (causa ipod rotto) e dove si è dormito sotto l’acquedotto Romano.. che dir di più, abbiamo fatto il famigerato Sassello.. ora arrivano le discese fino a Savona, dove ci laveremo (finalmente) in mare.
