Trieste Airport to Noventa di Piave: 87 kilometres

Venezia beckons us and we arrive back in Trieste with not a whole lot of help from Ryanair other than the actual usage of the seats on the airplane. We have flown Ryanair twice; we do not need to go there again.

It is hot and sunny in Italy and we drive the hour to our next destination, Noventa di Piave, which is about 40 kilometres from Venezia. The hotel we are staying in is a small, family run albergo and ristorante/pizzeria that is located not too far away but just far enough away from the autostrada. We ring the bell and the pizza cook lets us in and shows us our room for the next 4 nights. We settle in, unpack and go downstairs for dinner about 8 p.m. They offer good, solid home cooked food with a fresh, slightly bubbly vino rosso della casa to wash it all down.

It still amazes me that in the space of 2 hours we can escape the hustle and bustle of London and have the tranquil canals of Venezia enticing us.

Ahhhhhh, The Wonders of Travel.
