They did leave us lemoncello hard candies at a hotel. Those were good. Good enough I’ve been looking for them.
2 weeks agoHomemade can taste pretty good and you put it in a glass bottle. It's then put in the freezer to age for several months. But you most likely had commercially made limoncello.
2 weeks agoExactly. The information by the door said Somerset.
2 weeks agoI forget for sure, but I think the top is the distance in kilometers to/from the end of whatever this road is, in Roman numerals. Below the bar is tenths of a kilometer. So I think you're at kilometer 8.6. Maybe.
2 weeks agoLooks like a repurposed London Bus.
2 weeks agoToo bad you didn't like your limoncello. We love it and have even attended a class on how to make your own. It takes a LOT of lemons!
2 weeks agoGood looking croissants!
2 weeks agoI hope you enjoy Venice, regardless of the crowds. Remember, it’s concert season and there will be some fabulous ones this week to take in. They will draw the crowds, but do check them out, and if possible, attend one of them in St. Marks Square. You will make some lifetime memories!
2 weeks agoFinding the ferry at Chicago is no problem at all and it is a big ferry. Riding on those outer islands is really great. Sounds as if yo are continuing on towards Trieste on that side of the lagoon. A good idea as the ride over the causeway is certainly not pleasant. You will have one more ferry crossing. It is on a small ferry but they will take bikes. Lido is a great place to stay
2 weeks agoWe are looking at ferry routes as we speak! We are not taking the bikes to Venice (the whole storage issue with my long bike). Instead we are leaving the bikes in Lido at the hotel, and will go to Venice on foot.
I hope we can figure out the ferry terminal location in Chiaggio without too much trouble (language). I'm sure we will, eventually.
A great choice to approach Venice from the Lido side. One important note that from Lido you need to catch the car ferry. This is further around the waterfront than the regular ones (they don’t take bikes). Prob less than a kilometre and takes you to the main harbour near the end of the causeway
2 weeks agoI'm sure I knew/forgot also! I hope you ate cake AND ice cream!
2 weeks agoThere is certainly a learning curve to all sorts of aspects of touring and visiting other countries!
2 weeks agoHappy belated birthday. I had forgotten that you and I share the same birthdate. I think I mentioned that to you in a different journal comment years ago. Anyway, as I'm catching up on this journal, it was nice to see you had a good day.
