Venice – our last stop

Our last day’s ride took us through Padua enroute to Venice. A relatively flat route we struggled a bit with directions in the industrial town of Mestre and found ourselves on a crazy major road with tram tracks – yikes! We raced through this area & came around a corner with the waterway of Venice on horizon. Spellbound.

Vicenza

Just another historic & charming northern Italian city

Verona

On the way to Verona we stopped at a small court /rest stop. The birthplace of mini tennis – interesting sport!

The inventor of game is relative of one of the people there. Interesting!

So fun to explore countryside, vineyards, farms by bike & explore cities at night!

Biking from Bolzano to Venice

We embarked on a self guided 6 day bike ride from Bolzano to Venice. Karen & Bob, Lisa & Tom, Holly & Jeff, Kathy & Greg. It was the first bike trip for our friends & the third for us. Great weather, great route, great fun! Lots of photos, amazing scenery and we were so fortunate with good weather. Lots & lots of photos.

What a beautiful group
