Albarella to Chioggia


Today Christopher cycled with me for part of the journey and saw some of the loveliest scenery on the route. There were flamingos, cormorants, and some other zebra striped lovelies. Chris headed back to the boat after 6k and I carried on solo. It was lovely cycling weather, with some slightly challenging route finding. We are in the Po River delta with many canals.


 There were fields and fields of vegetables, mostly lettuce, but also carrots, potatoes, fava beans and others.
 Chioggia is a city of canals much like Venice.

 Chris also got his regular holiday hair cut. And doesn't it look good?
 We also sought out a net needle for Chris' honourary gramma May who fishes salmon in the Yukon River with nets. We had found one in Nova Scotia a couple years ago, but her house burned down this winter. No one was hurt, but she lost everything. The only net needle we found was a bit big...
