We found a true bargain on booking.com for Udine. The 4 star Best Western Continental was sharply reduced, offers a deluxe breakfast buffet and best of all our room has a balcony with a great view of the mountains.
Mary Ellen is not recovering well...her cough is worsening and she needs rest. We asked the manager if we could stay an extra night and due to the situation, he offered us the original price for 2nd night. We really appreciated that as we would have had to pay 20 euros more, and might have moved on otherwise.
Today will be about relaxing, Barry will take Seavo to get our brake pads checked at a bike shop nearby and then we plan to go for a quick ride to explore and have some lunch.
We found a great Italian cafe, Mase, on a side street and it was full of regulars. These massive jars of olives, artichokes, etc looked so tempting - but they would add too much weight to the load on our bike!
We needed an adjustment to the BB7 brake pads that were installed this morning, so we rode back to the bike shop. We loved this racing bike for a child.
