North to Venice

Having had a taste of Florence and not being particularly impressed with the campsite’s lack of internet connection we have moved north to Venice. A few years ago we stumbled on a campsite at Fusina which is on a peninsular across the lagoon from Venice. It wasn’t quite so easy to get to this time. We were within a few miles of the site and the road suddenly split, none of which was shown on our out of date GPS maps. In the heat of the moment I made a wrong decision and took the motorway to Treiste in Slovenia. It was another 20 kilometres before we could get off the damned motorway and head back to the campsite.

We’re now settled just a stone’s throw from the water’s edge looking out across the lagoon to Venice. Huge ships pass just a few metres away as they enter and leave the nearby docks. There is a ferry that runs every hour from just outside the campsite across to Venice.
