We had planned to stay in Cinque Terre until Monday morning, but due to the storms last night, and the rain due today, we decided to take this day to drive to Venice. Today is our first cloudy day, and it is actually a bit of relief since now the rain has cleared the air, it is less hot and humid.
After a 4 hour car drive, and an hour boat ride, we arrived at our Hotel on San Marco. It is the most “American like” hotel we have been in since arriving in Italy, but still very European. Although there are no pictures of today since the majority was traveling, we will include them in tomorrow’s blog–but think “Gondolas”, waterways, ancient churches, and narrow streets. We also noticed that the dress is less touristy, and more “upscale” overall. A very old, but clean city.
Barry and Jackie stayed on schedule, and arrive here in Venice tomorrow mid-afternoon. We will meet up with them again for our last two days in Italy. A short update today, but look for more writing and pictures tomorrow.
Happy Father’s Day to all you Dad’s reading this!
