Ferrara to Lido di Venezia 

30 Jun

A record distance today, 105 kms, plus two ferry boat rides. It took about 7 hours to get here, we were all tired. However again not a difficult ride, just a bit long. Most of the day was on small back roads through farming areas or on the water front of two small island strips across from Venice. Our boat rides were from Porto Chioggia to Pellestrina and then to Alberoni. 

The Lido is kind of a quiet place, many homes but not too many hotels and restaurants. I guess people stay and live here but go to Venice for work and tourism. There are beaches galore on the south side though, we’ll take that in tomorrow. 

Made it to Chioggia, two boats and 20km to go

Multi-coloured houses are a thing here
