Tenth stage, tenth day of the journey and 1200 km now under our belts. Ragusa (ancient name of the city) is perhaps more infamous by its real toponym, Dubrovnik. You only need to have a few years behind you to remember between 1991 and 1992 the long siege that…

The ninth stage was the first with the group divided, my desire to pass through Međugorje was too strong also because on the 2017 trip I had missed this appointment. The desire to see new things and bring a commission to the cathedral is too strong. A beautiful journey…

What was supposed to be the day of infinity became the day of NO: rain and wind, cold, a hostile climate and little desire to take the bicycle and pedal, but in the end the journey is also this, always continuing towards the destination. This time the destination hadn’t…

The 7th stage of this trip on the Eurovelo8 Easter Route took me from Zadar to Capocesto along the beautiful Croatian coast. A stage that offered beautiful views of the Adriatic Sea thanks also to the particular conformation of the territory which continually insinuates itself into the sea with…

The sixth stage of this exploration of the Eurovelo 8 started from Karlobag towards Zadar, a long stage but with a pleasant altimetry, following the wonderful coast of Croatia. There are many villages and exciting views encountered along the way and the crossing of the stretch of sea that…

Fifth stage of our Eurovelo 8 under finally drier weather or so we thought. Departure from Rijeka towards …. unknown! In reality we had two alternatives, the first, to make a short stage of about 70/80, the second to venture up to Carlopago covering almost 130km even today. At…

The fourth stage of this journey starts from Latisana (UD) towards Trieste. It was the first real “autumn” stage in the climatic sense of the term. However, Trieste was only an intermediate stop to visit the beautiful coastal city and take some souvenir photos, because the journey continued crossing…

Sunday, October 22, 2023 – 3rd day of the journey from Chioggia (VE) to Latisana (UD).

Following the unpleasant experience of the night, where we stayed at a poor-quality, damp, and very (very!) noisy hotel, we set off towards Trieste Latisana. Reaching Trieste would have required a considerable amount of…

Saturday, October 21, 2023 – the second day of the journey.

After a hearty breakfast at the BB Posada, we set off towards Chioggia (VE). After yesterday’s heavy rain, today we finally found the sun and a pleasantly mild temperature of around 22°C. After the first 50 kilometers, we reached…

On Friday, October 20th, is the departure day. Two other cycle travelers, Antony and his daughter Naomi, have joined me. We’re starting from Pescia (PT) heading towards Bologna. The Apennines await us, with challenging ascents and a significant elevation gain that we faced under heavy rain until we reached…
