We arrived in Venice yesterday afternoon and it is so lovely to be here. Last time I was here was about 15 years ago. It was a slow start though. We'd only been on the road for half an hour when the traffic came to a complete standstill as there had been an accident. After a while we heard an ambulance coming so everyone pulled over to the sides of the 2 lane carriageway so it could drive up the centre. And then, this being Italy, everyone got out of their cars, wandered about, smoked, made friends and invented lots of theories about what had happened. It was more like a street party than the scene of an accident. We were stuck for an hour and a half and eventually arrived in Venice at 4.30. We parked on a floating car park by the causeway and then had a comedy 20 minutes trying to find the exit to the ferry. In our defence the signposting was terrible.
Our hotel is on the Grand Canal and if I lean (and try not to fall) out of my window, I can see the water.
