Venice

Thursday, 28th May.

After more heavy rain on Tuesday night, yesterday dawned bright and clear for our drive to Punto Sabbioni, to the Camperstop recommended by our Hampshire friends as an ideal place from which to visit Venice.  The camp is all they said it was so we're happy that we took their advice.
As we arrived here at midday, we caught the next available ferry to Venice, a half hour journey.  The ferry was packed and so was Venice...we expected it to be crowded, all major cities are but were surprised by the size of the crowds and were glad we didn't come in the northern summer, when things really get busy!  After a few hours of strolling along canals and over bridges, checking out the shopping and dodging other tourists, we called it a day and caught the next ferry 'home'.
It was a good day out, we enjoyed our second visit in 46 years to the City of Canals but all agreed that a cancellation of today's proposed return visit was in order in favour of a day of R & R.
A lazy morning was followed by a bike ride around the area, checking out the beaches, canals and supermarket...a most relaxing day and we've no idea as yet, where we will go tomorrow!
