Best part of the bike ride - a nice cuppa!


The second day of biking (Vicenza to Bassano del Grappa) was the stop for perfect cappuccinos at about the 28 mile point. Sunny and cool all morning long, the weather cooperated as we forged upwards gradually to our destination.

What we found at the end of the route on was a quaint little town (pop. around 40000) that proudly boasts a very nice museum belonging to the city where we looked at a special Ansel Adams exhibit, then toured the rest of their permanent collection of art.

Since the town is called Bassano del Grappa, we would have been remiss not to also take in the Museum of the History of Grappa, and sample a small aperitif of said spirit.
