Venice
We left Italy on Tuesday after spending 4 nights in Venice, or at least just a 30min ferry ride away, and a night on the harbour wall in Trieste. Venice was really nice although teeming with tourist in all the hot spots and it was expensive. Rosemary refused to have a coffee in St Marks square cos it would have cost a 10 pounds per cup. The gondolas are a rip off as well, as you might expect, but the water busses for which you can get an all day 'rover ticket' are much more convenient way of seeing most of the sights. There is a real maze of narrow streets and canals, everyone has a map and everyone seems to be lost! The camp site on the seaward side of the lagoon which 'contains' Venice was very busy considering there are around 20 large sites on that stretch alone.

ReplyDeleteOnly just been able to follow you as internet only just going at usable speed.
ReplyDeleteYou seem to have surpassed previous hols this time.
Not taking up the "Challenge" as very expensive to get to Brittany booking now.
But like the idea of booking early for N. Spain next year.
