Kathy and Ozzie Morinll, joined by their trip mate; Jeannine Bailey, gave us a very interesting and well photo documented presentation of their recent bike and barge tour from Mantua to Venice, Italy. It was a 7 day trip on a self powered barge, measuring 122 ft long with a 22 ft beam. The crew was a Captain, First Mate, 2 chefs, and 2 guides. They biked 15 - 37 miles a day, for total of 123 miles. .Bikes were both conventional and electric power assisted (19). There were 32 bikers in 13 cabins on board. The food was excellent with lots of wine paired to each meal. The trip ended in Venice, where they were able explore, on foot, much of which this fascinating city and the island of Murano; famous for its blown glass work. have to offer.
