So a slight change of plan saw us head off to Venice a day ahead of schedule. Not entirely sure why - that's just the way we roll...
The package was a coach transfer to Punto Sabbione (or something like that) and a return ferry to Venice. We were first to the bus stop at 8.30 but nearly last onto the coach. But let's not open that can of worms again...
Seem to have a problem at the moment with posting photos on the blog, so apologies if there is limited or no photos.
We must have walked further around Venice today than on our previous 2 visits but much to Miss B's disappointment missed finding Mango, H&M and Hollister. It wasn't for lack of trying though...
We had promised the girls a Maccy D but again didn't manage to locate it so we found somewhere else to eat. It's only been open a couple of weeks, so we tried out the Hard Rock Cafe. It made a great change from pizzas and pasta, and it was good to get out of the sun - mid 40s again for anyone who is interested...
Plus they had WiFi so we could catch up on news etc, so that kept Miss B happy.
After lunch we wandered around doing the tourist things whilst browsing the shops and side streets. Can't believe how much we have drunk today... And before you jump to conclusions I mean soft drinks...
We beat our current record for a round of drinks in Venice - €24 for four cans of soft drink... Ahh well they were ice cold and desperately needed. We had finished the drinks we took with us and needed the sit down in the shade. Great spot to people watch.
Then we took the ferry back to pick up our coach. It was the last to arrive and we were all glad to see it. The journey back to the camp site was about an hour and I am typing this now we have returned on our balcony with an ice cold bottle of Birra Moretti - I think I've definitely earned this today.
I would love to know how far we have walked today, probably not as far as we think, but certainly more than we intended. I had toyed with bringing our GPS device with us - it would have been really interesting to know...
So as we ponder where to go and eat tonight that about wraps up Tuesday...
