Venice

Day 8: Venice

We had a pleasant 2 hr train ride to Venice and got checked into our apartment where we will be staying the next 4 nights.  We wandered around some and went to the3 grocery store where we found the pumpkin ravioli we love and cooked dinner in tonight.  We also made a caprese salad which is fresh buffalo mozzarella cheese topped with a basil leaf and slice of tomato then drizzled with olive oil and pepper.  At home every time we run across a brand of fresh mozzarella  which we haven’t tried we always get it but have never found any near as tasty as what you can get in Italy---nor tomatoes as good either.  Sure wish some could travel home with us!

Later tonight tried to post to blog and found no internet connection as I thought there would be.

Day 9: Venice

Met up with Ramah, one of our cruising buddies who happened to be in Venice getting ready to cruise back to Ft Lauderdale. We are so jealous but still had a wonderful land trip.  We had a very enjoyable day together on a trip to Burano for lunch.  Afterwards Tim took a nap while I went to her hotel to use the internet.  No time for photos and unless we get internet connection fixed at our apartment I will post the rest after we return home on Thursday.  Wonderful weather today and we still love Venice!
