Marano Lagunare

l’ve been dreaming of riding to Marano Lagunare for several years.  At first I was worried about the long busy Tagliamento bridge at Ponte della Delizia, and explored the alternative bridge at Madrizio.  Not bad but a bit out of the way.  Then I decided to check out Ponte Delizia in person.  In fact it wasn’t bad at all, with a meter wide lane for pedestrians/bikes.  So today I started early and with only a couple of deviations reached the little fishing village.  Lots of old stone houses, flowers, bright color.  When I left I unwittingly took the wrong road, noticed it but continued anyway.  Bad habit that.  I crossed the new autostrada overpass and knew I was in trouble when I saw signs for Palmanova and Gonars, way east of where I wanted to be.  Retraced my steps and found SS14 and got  back on track.  Long ride home, very tired.  Will try this again.
