Venice
In previous reports I have mentioned that we have seen very few tourists and in many cases we were alone. Well, all that changed when we stepped off the train in Venice.
Shoulder to shoulder busy and hot and humid. The last few cathedrals Annie and I visited we were the only ones there. At the main bascilica in Venice, Saint Mark's, we had to queue for 40min.
Our accommodation was good, however. Great location, right on a canal, first floor and air conditioning. The first 3 photos and the last one are taken from our balcony .
As most people know, Venice is unique and on most traveler's bucket lists. But don't come in July, or August. Apparently November is good.
Had an interesting meal on our last night. Dried fish cooked in a variety of Venetian ways. Never had firm fish before. Beautiful flavours with unusual texture.
Caught the train to Rome, our last stop, yesterday. Only takes 4hrs and reached 272km/hr.
