Zelo to Adria

An early breakfast because we had a long day ahead. On our bikes at 0830 and a lovely ride through little Italian villages and lots of deserted community buildings. Morning tea at Ficarolo where there is a very good imitation of the Leaning Tower of Pisa!
The last few kilometres before our arrival in Ferrara were quite delightful - riding along a tree lined bike path.
Ferrara is an ancient city surrounded completely by a fortified wall - 12 km long.
We enjoyed our packed lunches with Sheila & Fred before exploring the Old Town. Every Old Town is unique and fascinating.
We then boarded a bus and were driven to the Mantovani Distillery & Museum at Pincara en route to Adria where we met the Ave Maria.
The Distillery enabled us to sample as many drinks as we wanted! A couple of G & T later ... !
The chefs prepare meals specific to the area we are visiting. Tonight's dinner was caprese, followed by lasagne & chocolate fudge cake.
We are edging closer to Venetzia and, of course, this means the end of our Ave Maria journey. We will spend 3 days in Venetzia and then our return to Down Under!Read more
