train station I was pick-pocketed and relieved of
our un-validated Eurail passes. They were
removed from a zipped pocket in my pants. So
we made out a police report with the help of our
hosts. Then we got new passes paid for out of
pocket (thank you Steve)-(will be
reimbursed when we return to the US.) Since
they were un-validated they are useless to
anyone else. So it was a lose/ lose situation for
us and the thief.
After lunch we went to Venice it was belle -
beautiful. We met a mother and daughter from
Boston and spent the day with them. It was nice
communicating in English, since most Italians do
not speak English. It can be frustrating trying to
communicate around here. We went to San
Marcos Church and visited the shops. Also rode
along the Venice canals by boat. Around
Venice, the boats ARE the bus system.
On the way home we saw a street fair on
Conegliano. Stopped to look around. Back at
the BB still unable to sleep. Jet lag, or maybe
the excitement and stress of it all.
Tomorrow, Treviso.
We arrived in Venice after a stop over in
Amsterdam Airport. We met a girl there from
Noblesville. Small world. Her husband was
deployed and she was also in the military. We
determined it would be necessary to secure a
rental car to reach the Bed and Br., so we took a
bus from the airport to the train station in
Venice, rode the train to Treviso and rented a
car to drive to Coneglinao. The drive to the B&B
was a trip- those Italians take their life in their
own hands. I think I was destined to live in Italy -
I fit in and held my own with those Italian drivers.
We reached the BB at 9pm exhausted, but
unable to sleep because of the jet lag.
01 July 05
Today was the first day of our official organ trip.
We ate breakfast with our hosts, Liciana and
Andrea (mother and son) the owners of the BB,
located in Colonge, which is 20 min from
Treviso.
