Where all the boats and tourists like me arrive on the Grand Canal
A view of St Marc's Square
A view of the cathedral from the end of St Marc's square
Well, I couldn't not have taken a photo of a gondola!
The symbol of Venice
Off the main tourist area Venice is tranquil
The Arsenal
Obviously off the beaten track but not that far from all those tourists!
The other direction from St Marc's square
Will put some put up some photos when I have a better connection. I had bad memories of Venice but really enjoyed my half day stay although it is always tiring, hot and full of people. Yesterday we went over the road bridge to the city. I didn't know that it even existed!! I wanted to go to Murano to buy some glass but parking the camper was so far away and then we would have got a ferry and so on and so on. It gives me a reason to go to Venice again, next time for a weekend and staying in an hotel. We then made our way to Lake Garda, the eastern side of which is really beautiful but they want to keep campers away!
Torri Del Benaco, Largo di Garda
Nothing said but most parkings have height bars over them or the fee is exorbitant for campers, like 5 times more than for a car! I looked closely at an Italian camper and saw that he had just paid the fee for a car. Perhaps we foreigners are too honest. We spent the night on a car park near the end of the lake for which we had to pay the guard 10€ to let us out! Not a bad way of starting your day! There were 11 or 12 campers so 120€ in your pocket a day then the salary on top or am I being cynical? Now on our way to Bergamo.
