| We woke up to more rain and continued on towards Venice. It was only a few hours away so when we got close we started looking for a place to stay that night. We drove around several small towns about 50 kilometers from Venice but couldn't find anywhere. And it wasn't really suitable to sleep in the car. The area was flat and very crowded with cities and towns. On a stroke of genius we decided to look in our guidebook and found a campground right outside the city, so we went to check it out. We decided to stay there for one night, and they had a free shuttle into the city so we wouldn't have to drive into Venice the next day. By this time it was the middle of the afternoon, so we set up our tent and just relaxed the rest of the evening. We even used our water heater to make some noodles for supper! That night we decided we didn't want to stay there for another night! It was really close to the airport, so about every 15 minutes a plane would fly over. Worse yet, we had stupidly built our tent next to a small soccer court and across from the camp disco, so for several hours we had a ball flying right towards us into a net, and a thumping disco that stayed open until about 3:00am. And just as it was closing down, I woke up to the sound of someone going to the bathroom right beside our tent! |
