Possagno to Venice. 115kms. Perhaps the wrong way.

Paul Wolfe turned up to the hotel to pick us up for dinner.  He worked it out who is was going to meet by some of the strange things I had said to his wife earlier on in the day.  None the less, we were taken to a special restaurant where we dined on fish, spaghetti , wine for some and water for myself.  We met Paul's friends, Simon, his wife and daughter.  They come from LA and spend time over in Possagno each year riding in the mountains.  We had a fantastic night, eating great food and Paul and Christine spoilt us in being the perfect guests.  They dropped us back at the hotel around 10.30pm where we said our goodbyes and hoping that one day we will meet again.  As I always say, 'never say never'.

 The photo was taken last night after dinner with Peter, Christine and Paul Wolfe.  A fabulous night.

 The photo was taken yesterday whilst walking the village of Cunial with Jan Carlo.

 I took the above photo whilst searching for the headstone of my father in law's brother.

 I took the above photo yesterday during our sightseeing of the surround villages near Possagno.

 The photo of the above bust is a self made bust by Antonio Canova. He also has an airport named after himself.

 Today's ride started at 7am and finished around 3pm.  We covered the 115kms at an average of 22kph.  Now that's not a bad record for the tour.  We travelled on good flat roads with quite a deal of traffic.  Stopping occasionally for coffee and treats. The weather was beautiful and this remained all the way to Camping Miremare near Venice.

The above photo was taken whilst having a swim in the Adriatic after our long ride.  Scenery was not too bad either.

 When we set up home we do int in style.  I put up the Aussie flag and some rope.  No one is allowed to enter.  That's Peter in the photo preparing dinner.  I told him I can't cook for shit and don't like getting my hands dirty.

 The above photo was taken yesterday of a 12th Century church in Possagno.  They use the church once a year for a special event.

The above photo shows Jan Carlo walking amongst the columns of Canova's temple in Possagno.

Our day ended pretty good today.  We made it to camp and had the tents set up by 3.30pm.  Enough time to catch the bus up the road and go for a swim.  Peter made a great dish for dinner and now we're planning our day out in Venice and how to get to Croatia.  We were thinking of going to Rome, but time is against us. 

Until tomorrow, safe riding.
