Off We Go

It’s amazing what you can pack into a small backpack. It’s quite liberating just packing what you know you are going to wear and helpful if you are going places where the temps are similar.

Our flight wasn’t till 16:40 so a leisurely morning doing all the things to be done before a holiday like watering the plants and putting them in the front room where it’s north facing. Daughter and Ben have been tasked with watering . Let’s see what happens .

Two years ago we gave a delicate one to Mum to look after - died and another to Laura and she put it in her conservatory and all the leaves were scorched….. when Mum produced it to us she said ‘it just needs a wee water’. :)

The airport wasn’t too busy. Plane left on time there were multitudes of teenage Italian boys and girls who seemed to have been on a school trip. They got to fever pitch as we approached Venice lol!

Straight through the airport in minutes and on a bus to Maestre bus station and our hotel for the night.

It’s a lovely place run by a Kenyan family. We even have a balcony!
