Day 8 - The Road to Venice

Guten Morgen from Germany!

The Alps & Lunch in Egna

Today's adventures began with a bus ride through the Austrian Alps on our way to Italy.  The Alps were stunning!  Everywhere we looked it was just awe inspiring.  We had a little drama on the way as part of the highway was closed due to a rock slide.  Move along.  Nothing to see here.  We made it through before they closed the highway!  We stopped at a rest area on the Germany / Austria border for a quick break and photo op.  Then it was off to lunch in Egna, Italy and finally to Venice.

Arriving in Venice

Matti handed out our special passes that allowed us to enter Venice. Then we boarded a Vaporetto and sailed the Grand Canal from Tranchetto to the Rialto Bridge.

Venice Orientation Walk & Dinner Together

We got an orientation walk with a stop at St. Marks Square and then had dinner together at a Trattoria alla Scala. YUM!

Buona notte from Italy!
