Venice

We kept our camping spot in Verona and took a day trip through to Venice on the train. Our slow start, plus just missing a bus and train, meant we didn't get there till 2 - but hey, there's not that much to see is there?

Our main achievement was finding the only free museum in Venice; there wasn't much to see inside but it was cool on a hot day and it had toilets! We moseyed on getting generally lost on purpose and soaking up the atmosphere. Didn't do much else, but of course hit all the famous spots and got all the appropriate tourist pics.





Ben also managed to have the local drink: Sprizz Aperol. Bitter.


Next day we headed to Slovenia, where we are now. We'll post more about that in a bit, but as a summary: it's beautiful & friendly and everyone has nice gardens. Slovenia in Bloom must be a really hard-fought competition.
