Italy - Venice 23 - 27 July

Three trains and 6 hours later we arrived in Venice from the Cinque Terre. Interesting place but soooo overcrowded you could hardly walk.  Not so clean and quite smelly.  We were a tad dissapointed.  Had a good look around, walked for hours into the different neighbourhoods, and got lost many times.  Had a change of pace and boated to the island of Lido.  The beach was crowded and all was good until we decided to have a swim.  It was yuk, dirty stagnant water.  Paid to have a cold shower and flagged the swimming for the day.
