The trip today was through some beautiful countryside. Beautiful mountains with picturesque towns. The train went as far as Villach, Austria where we were supposed to get on a bus for the rest of the journey. We had 6 minutes and nowhere was there a sign saying "here is your bus!" We were starting to panic when we found it. We were a lot luckier than Scherry and Chris and Jody who had mechanical problems on their train and missed the bus - they won't get here until almost midnight. I imagine right now they wish they had opted for the earlier train.
Once here and in our hotel which is actually as advertised and directly across from the train station, Jerry and Lori and I headed into Venice. It is truly amazing. An easy place to get lost though. We were wandering around and stopped at some random small sidewalk cafe for dinner. It was excellent. Then we started trying to find our way back to the train station - when we finally stopped to ask we were very close to it!
Tomorrow we have a full day to go out and explore Venice and ride a gondola! Should be a good day.
Here are a few pictures.
