I thought the western shore of the lake would have a lot of annoying traffic, but there was a cycling path pretty much all the way that i rode. It's not for roadies or people in a hurry though, it is a bit meandering, and often shared with pedestrians, people going for a swim as it goes right along the lake shore.

The night before yesterday i did not take a room but a spot on a campsite with great lake view and 20 m walk to the lake. But like i worried, in deed a thunderstorm rolled in in the night. It was so stormy already when it wasn't even raining yet that i abandoned my tent, grabbed most of my stuff and hung out at the sanitary facilities to wait it out. I didn't feel safe in the tent, thought trees or branches could fall onto me. I also was sure that when the heart of the storm arrived, my tent will be gone. I had not set it up in the right direction towards the wind i could not change it anymore in the storm. Luckily when the rain arrived, the wind got weaker and half an hour later i felt fine moving back into my tent, it was still raining, flashing, thundering pretty good but the wind was on non storm levels again. I think the worst of the storm hit a few km left and right of my position, got lucky there. Few of my tent poles got bent by the wind but that was it, had a good rest of the night, tent stayed dry.

Yesterday i took the day off and laid around lazily at the lake all day, going for a swim every now and then. Now i am moving towards the dolomites.

Thank you. I take it you are on the lemmy.world instance too right? Because i figured some of my comments and posts did never show up on bicycles@lemmy.ca, this one included.

I think that sometimes there are issues where instances lag a bit in updating. Like if I go to a community on the instance it's hosted on, I'll see posts that I can't see from my instance, but if I wait a couple minutes they'll show up.

I confirm that I can see your posts and comments from lemmy.ca :)

Can you see this comment too on lemmy.ca? Because i can't. It's two days old.

Huh, you're right I can't see that one. I imagine the load on the servers as more and more people migrate to Lemmy right now is causing issues with syncing between instances. Hopefully it'll get sorted out with time as things calm down.

Hello. Nice shot! I would like you to know that I'm jealous.
