Destination: Lake Como, Italy.
This was another of those long travelling days where we caught a train to get a bus, to get another train, to get another bus, to get another train etcetc. All this got us across the border from Slovenia to Trieste, Italy. Then, because our train to Milan connected there and especially as Martin had never been before, we 'popped' into Venice for a couple of hours (as you do!). It was so worth it even though it was super hot and just jam-packed with people. Heading to the famous San Marco's square, Martin and I had fun getting lost in the labyrinth of alleyways and dead ends. But we got there with enough time to eat our 'picnic' lunch of bread and gorgonzola with salami and sundried-tomatos. Venice is just so cool. LOVE Venice! (An aside note for those interested: Venice, which apparently rests on millions of wooden piles pounded into marshy ground, is sinking faster than ever and in the last 100 years it has sunk a couple of feet).
We arrived at the hostel in Como at 8pm that night - a long day having left our B&B at 5am that morning. The day did not end there though.. after a quick scrub up, we made our way to the next town for a happy (and tearful) reunion with my family who had just flown in for my sister's wedding. It was really great to see them after being on the road for what seemed much longer than 6 weeks! *Mush
