Day 20 (July 18): Venice to Vienna

Delicious breakfast this morning, lovely shower and then spent all day wandering around Venice. Took the boat bus through the city to Lido, and then around the top of the city back to the train station. Yesterday we went around the bottom of the city to St. Marco’s Square so we literally have circled and gone through every main passage of Venice, and touched every boat bus stop (except for the cemetery island and parking lot). Today we saw four pigeons missing some or all of the toes on one foot and a seagull with a foot problem too… they were all in the same area. Maybe there’s a mean cat around? Anyway, about to get on an eleven hour train, so hopefully we get some decent sleep in the seats that surely won’t recline. No rain happened today so my tan is coming along quite nicely and our ponchos have still gone unused.
