Day 10: From Gargia to Alta

A relaxed day

Today I drove a short distance to Alta and checked into the camp where I had reserved a cabin for the next two nights. It was a nice cabin with a small kitchen and living room and a private bathroom. I liked it.

I drove around a bit, bought some groceries and looked for the church I would be attending on Sunday.

As I was looking for the address, I stopped at a store where a KTM Duke 890 was parked. A man came out and it turned out that this KTM was his bike, so we struck up a conversation. He gave me some practical tips for the area. I asked him for a recommendation against mosquitoes if I was camping, and he suggested I buy a ThermaCell device that uses butane gas and a special mosquito repellent insert that is activated by the heat of the gas. We then chatted about our motorcycle adventures. His name was Byørne and we took a selfie with his bike in the background.

I travelled 71 km today and the trip counter was showing 4 429 km.
