Venice - last port of call

Travelling from Ravenna to Venice you have to go through Bologna so there we were again dealing with the three tier train station. This time there was some sort of escalator problem that had resulted in a giant pedestrian traffic jam on one of the levels. Eventually we made it through in one piece and on to the correct train with the aplomb of seasoned train travellers. This will be our last encounter with Trenitalia though, as we fly out of Venice.

We are staying in Hotel Bruno in the heart of Venice.  This is handy to all the sights and it has given Laurie practice for his Junior Orienteering badge. He doggedly scours the map, prepares a route and we wander around with the rest of the tourists trying to figure the crazy maze of narrow streets and pedestrian bridges.
