 NORTH ITALY on Motorcycle:-Day 4 : 24.08.2017 Thursday
           200 km

After having a poor breakfast at the Hotel Ferrovia, I finished my check-out at the reception and paid 70.-Euro. I departed at 09:15 from the hotel and took the route to Agordo. I left the route 51 after 8-10 kms and took the country road to Cibiana>>Dont>>Agordo. The road is narrow but the view is wonderful. It goes through small villages on the hills. I passed two different passes (Forc. Cibiana and Passo Duran) and reached to Agordo around 10:45. 

I sat there on the side of the road at the caffé / bar Miniere. 

Coffee stop in Agordo

I asked for a cappucino and a bottle of water. I took some rest there and then I took some pictures in the center of Agordo.

I departed around 11:00 and took the direction to Fiera. It was hot in Fiera and the traffic was heavy in the town. It is a well cared town with a lot of trees and flowers. It is really colorful there. First I passed the junction in the wrong way and after 50 meters I stopped my bike and looked at my map. I had to take the other way which is for Passo di Rolle.

The climbing to the Passo Rolle (1,984 m) is very nice with many hairpins and wide curves. It takes around 15-20 minutes to climb up. The view is fantastic. There are a lot of

wanderers and cyclists.

There is a restaurant/hotel on the other side of the passo Rolle. Albergo Venezia is the name of the hotel/bar. It is just on the right hand side of the road heading to Predazzo.

I sat there and ordered una tagliatelle con porcini and small beer. The food was very tasty

(buono !). I sat there until I finished my coffee and paid the bill (15.-Euro). Then I started to flow downwards in the direction of Predazzo. The road is very nice with broad curves. The view is wonderful. The weather is nice; approx. 28-30 deg C. The sky is open. After passing Predazzo the road follows one side of the big valley. There are a lot vineyards at the steep side of the valley.

The city Trento is on a flat valley. The temperature is now around 32 deg C. I continued to ride in the city. My Garmin Navigator got me to the west edge of Trento. There is a street called Via Brecia and my hotel is there : Garni San Giorgio della Scala. It is a family operated three stores hotel in a vine yard. There is a well maintained garden and a nice place to park the motorcycle.

Before I went out to walk to the city I took some pictures from the window of my room.

The lady at the reception gave me a map to walk to the city. The hotel is located on the west side of Adige River and Trento as well. It took for me to walk to the Trento city 20 minutes only.
While walking to the city Trento I passed over the bridge San Lorenzo which is on the Adige River. 


                                                   

The historical part of the city Trento is nice with old buildings. I walked in the narrow streets and passages. I sat in a café shop outside. I drank a Aperol Spritz. Then I started to walk in the city again. I met a shop called "La Meridiana" and I bought a ring for Nihal. I met the gioielleria Tomasi. Later on I sat some time in the Forst in the Via Mazzurana. I took a Weizenbeer and then I bought a book in the Giunti al Punto which is a bookstore just adjacent to Forst.

Having taken some more pictures I went to the Piazza Garzetti,20 where there is Roccaforte Trentina. It is a nice restaurant with local tastes, too. I took salad of the local type and tagliata di manzo, specially grilled beef. I have taken also two glasses of La grein calice (red wine).

Then I started to walk to my Hotel through the Piazza Dante.
