Laives to Vilpiano - May 28

We headed off from our campsite in Laives, having to backtrack a bit to get back on the bike path, and only taking one wrong turn in the process.
After about 20km we were on the outskirts of Bolzano and we headed into town on a very nice tree shaded bike path.
Bolzano is a beautiful city, and we stopped for a coffee (and cake for some of us) at a cafe opposite the cathedral. We then headed further into the centre to find an internet cafe and do some shopping. Rod did some blogging and the shopping was very good, the highlights being gas (finally) for our high-tech stoves and new Teva sandals for Trace.
All that took quite a while, so by the time we resumed our journey we decided to just head for Vilpiano, about 20km away. After our recent experiences finding campsites that exist and are not full, we (Trace) phoned ahead this time and all was good.
The campsite was small and pleasant. We made use of the swimming pool before having a very nice dinner at the restaurant (Rod was very well catered for by the cook).
