So it's been a really long day. We were up at three this morning and on the road by quarter to four. The drive to Gatwick was really quiet - not really surprising at that time of the morning. It was the first time that the four of us have been in the new car and with all the luggage we were well loaded.
After the transfer to the airport and a quick tour of the duty free shops it was time to go to the departure gate. Suffice to say the credit card was required...
The flight left a little late due to the volume of aircraft wanting to leave. There was a fair amount of turbulence on the flight and my ears were really uncomfortable. For those of you who don't know, I currently have a problem with my synases and my hearing is shot. So the flight was a kill or cure moment. Suffice to say I'm still here but I wouldn't say it was pleasant...
From Venice we caught the bus to Caorle where Ali was on hand to meet us. What a star!!! Ali took us to the campsite and settled us in, before taking us to a supermarket off site. This is much cheaper than the Spar onsite and has allowed us to get stocked up on essentials for the next few days.
This is probably the first time we have arrived on camp so early and thanks to Ali our accommodation was ready to move straight into. I probably should explain about Ali. She is an assistant area manager for Eurocamp who Jo knows from M&S. Small world and such a lovely person.
The girls decided to go for a dip whilst I and Mrs J went for a quick explore. Well that and a sit down with a cold glass of wine. It was from here that we went outside and took the picture for today's blog.
