We’re here !! On the 20th November at around 4:00pm we arrived in Fusina having cycled from Legnano. Tom had caught a ferry from Fusina to Venice. True to form, that ferry only runs during the summer, so off season again.

The following day we caught a Vaporetto from Lido, where our hotel is, to Venice itself. We had planned a dramatic landing at the Rialto bridge, but we had to change boats and therefore the first foot on Venice was at around 1:00pm 21st November at a random vaporetto stop on the Grand Canal.

We are expecting to leave Venice on Sunday to start the journey home, so, we should be back in the UK at the start of December.

How do I feel ? tired, relieved, a little empty, ready for a drink and excited about the next stage. It really hasn’t sunk in yet.

However, Venice is really spinning her magic. We have had bright sun, stunning sunsets, the intrigue of nighttime Venice and today it has snowed.

Pictures and posts will follow, when I remember to bring the memory card adaptor.
