8 months agoLove, love, love the Belvedere Hotel
8 months agoIf you like road cycling you won’t be disappointed. Guided rides for all levels from ‘leisure’ (inexperienced but willing) up to pro-wannabe. Fabulous hotel, spa, food and staff. And non-cycling folks can beach, spa, or explore the area; they will take a bus to the special off-site activities listed if they want to participate. The reviews on trip advisor are not fake, it really is that great.

Yah, but you gotta admire the wine bottles in place of standard water bottles. :)
8 months agoThere were plans for a massive expansion in the fourteenth century, which would have more than doubled the size of the building. The existing structure would have become the transept, with a gargantuan new nave being added.
Demolition and alteration of the surrounding buildings had already begun- you can still see holes poked into some of them where supporting structures were to have been placed, when the project collapsed because of the Black Death. It wiped out a huge number of the artisans who were to have worked on it, as well as a substantial fraction of the populace that would have paid for it.

" I doubt that I will make my own pizza dough because I don’t have the proper mixer, and I am not going to buy one"
For decades, I hand-kneaded my made-from-scratch pizza dough. Mixers make the job faster, easier, and tidier but they aren't strictly necessary.
Wow, this looks difficult. Good to have the bikes you are on.
8 months agoPretty funky frame geometry. Don’t think it would handle very well!
