Day 26, Wednesday, Venice to Ferrara

Today was a 77.4 mile day with only 1,385' of elevation gain.  We have 2 more days of "flatline" elevation and then we start climbing again when we get into the Apennines. We started the day with a 7 mile ride to the southern tip of Lido (Venice) where we took two ferry rides to get us to the mainland of Chioggia.  We had a beautiful day until we reached lunch at the 54 mile mark.  Clouds rolled in and the sky turned grey while we were enjoying our ham, tomato and mozzarella sandwiches.  The wind picked up and it started to rain heavily.  After 15 minutes the rain subsided and a group of riders started out to complete the final 20 miles to the hotel.  Ten minutes after they left the sky opened up with torrential rain, thunder and lightening.  Glad we waited.

Our hotel tonight sits on top of the hill so the setting is beautiful but our postage stamp room would have fit in last nights jacazzi. Tomorrow is a very big day, some 80 miles and almost 9,000' of climbing.  Our legs are tired, our cycling kits need a laundry and we're ready for our tour to end so we can ...
