During the first stage of 76 kilometres, you follow the canals and the Reno river up to Campotto, in the Po delta. You start along the Navile dirt road to leave Bologna, always pedaling on the cycle path.
You cycle above the levees, some 17 meters high above sea level. This territory has been reclaimed

Day 9: From Fox Glacier to Haast
Through the rivers and creeks with sea views and surrounding forest. Stopped off at Lake Paringa for picnic and on to Haast. If you do this road make sure to stock up as there is nothing for 120 kilometres!

You look like upure having a great time! Are you coming to Australia while your down this way?
Day 7: From Maruia to Greymouth
Great ride up to Rahu Saddle and down to Reefton. Beautiful galleries and cafés. A pie, a scone , a large flat white and a bottle of L & P will take you 80 kilometres against the wind to Greymouth! This section is steeped in gold mining history. Ended with delicious pub dinner at Woodstock pub, 2 for 1 on Tuesdays!

Day 6: From Murchison to Maruia
A fun start to the day white water rafting on the Buller river! After coffee and cake we followed the Makatiki river to avoid the highways. We cycled through the New Zealand bush with lots of ferns and streams to cross. Beautiful! We got to the pass, Maruia Saddle, and headed down the main road with the mountains in view all the way to the tiny village of Maruia.

Day 5: From Richmond to Murchison
Big day in saddle! Lots of grimacing on my part and lots of smiling on Paola's. Followed Great Taste Trail which connected to a silent secondary road / bike route all the way to saint Arnaud and the Nelson Lakes. Lots of sheep on the way! Quick stop in Lake Rotoroa and a steep climb on the Braeburn Track. Fun descent down crossing over streams. White water rafting tomorrow!

Day 4: From Picton to Richmond
After a few days in Wellington we hopped on the ferry across the Cook Strait. The route coasted along the bays to Havelock, home of the NZ mussels. We then followed the main road, not the best road – some crazy drivers. Once in Nelson we followed the Great Taste Trail and the Old Railway line bike path all the way to Richmond which was perfect way to finish. Clouds in morning but finally a very sunny day!

Day 2: From National Park Waimarino to Koriniti
Big day on the bike! We took the main highway and then connected to the Old Coach road, a 15 kilometre track which goes through the bush, really fun ride. Got supplies in Okahune, famous for Carrots, and had a picnic at the big carrot adventure park. Then, we had 60 kilometres of uninterupted nature, along the River Road and he Whanganui river, all the way to the Coolest campsite, the Flying Fox. You have to get a cart which crosses the river, the best!

In the last stage you cross the magical islands of the lagoon, pedal along the islands of Pellestrina and Lido, passing from one ferry to another until you see the enchanting Venice on the horizon.
From Chioggia, the first thing to do is to go to the end of Corso del Popolo, where the vaporettos leave
