Day 14, Tuesday 13th April.
Fine looking site with good sized, grassy pitches, yards from the beach, under shady pine trees. Dogs are not allowed on the beaches, even though they are all but deserted. Dire warnings of the consequences are posted in several languages at every entry.
We travel down the coast and find a bit of scrub where we can walk Molly. As there is no one for miles take the chance and she has a great swim.
Second attempt at the awning was much more successful than the first and yes, it is easy if you know what your doing.
Decide to stay here a couple of weeks as apart from Venice, which is going to take a couple of visits, were also in striking distance of Verona, Vicenza and Padua plus a couple of famous gardens to peruse.
Lots of giant supermarkets and we seem to do well enough asking for stuff and ordering in restaurants (thanks to Giovanna our endlessly patient Italian teacher) no one is more amazed than us when they understand what we are asking for and even more amazed when we understand their replies (mostly).
We have wifi (rapture) and catch up with our lack of communications home.
Great dinner back at the camp of prociutto crudo, the ripest local tomatoes, Insalata Capricciosa and our last bottle of Champaign.
Will have to start investigating the local fizz.

Ah - there is my gal. eyeing up the prociutto!
ReplyDeleteIt is so lovely to see a wonderful happy Andy and beautiful Molly. Perhaps one day over the next few months you can manage to ask someone in Italian to take a picture of U3! So happy to hear you're finally in your beloved destination with the rough start making it all worthwhile!
