Ca Savio...near Venice
Holiday! ... time to unwind after our exertions of the last couple of months.
Good trip to this holiday site on the narrow strip of land opposite Venice, forming the famous logoon between them... the site and its brilliant beach is on the Adriatic side though...reminds us of caravan holidays with the Girls...ahhhhh.
Will get our minds round trips to Venice and maybe Verona when we have recovered from our travels. Here for a week.
Sorted RTL satellite TV for the British GP....as if I wouldn't.
Spend some time on the beach when the weather permits and also walk across to the 'Venice' side to Treporti.
On Thursday it's Venice (only our second visit) ... we buy an all-in ticket for €22 each and catch the bus to Punta Sabbioni, then the vaporetto to S. Marco, Venice Centre. It's a great way to arrive at the Piazza San Marco. Walk around the labrynth of fascinating streets, full of shops, bars and restaurants. So many Farrari shops! It's for the tourists, yes, but there is nowhere else on earth like this.
Caffe and chat to cruising tourists from Gurnsey..
Believe our rough guide and leave our planned visit to the Basillica until the 1.30 lull and it works brilliantly....we see the whole amazing place at our leisure. The terrace and museum is good value.
Lunch in a back street restaurant this time and it's a good one...we both choose the local liver with onions...good!....
..catch the vaporetto No. 1 up the main Canal Grande, walk back..then it's time for the vaporetto 'home'.
Great day. Pity about the torrential thunderstorm in the night though!.
Adventures even on holiday.
