Italy! Day 12 trains planes and automobiles...

Today we journeyed to Venice ... Via a number of modes of transportation. On and off from van, to bus to train to train to a boat taxi. All the while hauling the whole raft of luggage we have amassed. Then there is the vigilance for pickpocketers .... We have come through unscathed, and hope to keep it so. 

Thanks to our guide, Judit and Christian who has joined us, at least until the soccer world cup game starts... We successfully arrived to our hotel which is right on the grand canal and a short walk to San Marco square. 

 

Bridge of sighs.

Tomorrow we board the Jade -- seven night cruise with NCL of the Greek isles. We stop at Corfu, Mikanis, Santorini, and Olympus.  It is not likely we will have wifi on board... At least not for a reasonable price... But one never know.

Thank you for you interest in our little adventure.
