5 years agoI really appreciated your comments about the piazza in Cremona (one of my favorite cities), and how it changes everything to toss the automobiles out. I have the same frustration about our own country as you do yours.
Since you’re off to Genoa next, you might look at the route we followed west from it to Liguria last autumn (https://www.cycleblaze.com/journals/dubrovnik2018/albenga/); and I really recommend staying in Albenga, our first stay after Genoa. Good luck with the heat!
Ken - I'm not sure that you took geography in the 5th/6th form at KHS but all this has brought back the projects we did then on the Po valley and it's agricultural importance. When yo were at the Lido you were very near where we camped on the other side of the lagoon and took the ferry in and out of Venice. Your next bit is beautiful - we envy you. Cheers, George
