After a 20-minute bus ride, we arrive on the island of Venice. The entrance to the city is Piazzale Roma.

With the six-hour time difference, we were very hungry. We found a restaurant with a terrace, open mid-afternoon, the Oro Restaurant. First meal of the trip: two courses of pasta, beer and aperol.
We spent the rest of the day walking and getting lost in the alleys, exploring Venice. Visit St. Mark’s square, Rialto port, Ponte dell’Accademia.
