Our trip today started with a 20 minute ride to the other end of the Lido and onto yet another ferry that took us past Venice to Mestre where cars and bikes are allowed again to travel away from Venice. I preferred sailing past St. Mark’s square and all the people today, a much better view. Mestre is a densely populated area of Italy, we never really left the city it seemed. Traffic was heavy so not the most relaxing ride until we got through Conegliano and started the climb up to the agriturismo where we were staying. It was a dramatic contrast there as we were on small roads through orchards and vineyards. Unfortunately it started to rain heavily at that point with only about 5kms left but since we were climbing it was not so fast. In fact it was just long enough for us to get thoroughly soaked. But we made it anyway and got everything hung up to start drying.
This is a beautiful spot! It’s very green, hilly and full of grape vines. Our B&B is also wonderful with a great restaurant. Aah…

Piazza San Marco one more time
Getting the full soak just before arriving
Now that’s better. This place has its own branded prosecco!
