Venice Day 2 (Becky)

Not super eager to go back to Venice, we decided to hang out and relax on the mainland for the day. We played cards and Frisbee by the ferry boat landing, then Jeremy spent the afternoon reading while I went for a long walk towards the neighboring town of Malcontenta. In the evening, we confused our bus schedules enough to miss the bus until 8:45 and got to Venice after 9 for dinner. We hoped that the city would be more romantic at night, but instead it started raining. We hurriedly picked a restaurant with a reasonable vegetarian selection and had some good (but not great) pasta and gnocchi (AND they also didn’t give us any bread with the meal, boo). We then got a couple of gelato cones and headed back to catch a train that, just our luck, arrived one minute after our hourly bus connection to the campground left. .Eventually, though, we caught the last bus back and were exhausted when we finally got to the campground (an amusing sidenote: Jeremy fell dead asleep on the bus with his head rolling back and forth and hitting the window repeatedly, yet he didn’t wake up).
