After breakfast Alan collects us from the Agriturismo and takes us in the van back to the railway station in Trieste from where we take the train to Venezia. We get off at Venezia Mestre while Cath and Ian continue on to Venezia S. Luzia for a 3 day stay in Venice ( meeting up with Doug and Brenda Field ).
We catch a Eurostar train from Venezia to Bologna, journey memorable, not for any interesting scenery, but by two elderly Italian ladies who clearly not reserved any seats ( seat reservation is compulsory on Eurostar ) and were moved on any number of times in a game of musical seats as passengers claimed their correct places. By half an hour out of Venezia we were eventually all settled in for the journey.
Arrive at Bologna to find that the Hotel Star Excelsior was just across the road from the station, a real relief as we were heavily laden with luggage and still somewhat footsore from the 310 kms cycling tour.
No walking tour of the city this evening so Gail does some internet work and after meal we are off to bed.
Roll on the Italian Experience!
The Obese Ferret.
PS. For any new readers of these blogs the ‘Obese Ferret’ name was given to me after I told my nephew Andy that I had put on a small amount of weight.
