Venezia

Venezia
Right. So. The first thing to note is that Ancona could learn a few
things about signposting. Like how on earth to get out of the ferry
port without gate-crashing the boarding queue at a different departure
pier. Seriously, 200 odd Harleys thundering through your orderly queue
will cause chaos very fast.
We tried to find the coast road to Venice, but the satnav and Italy
disagree as to the definition of an autostrada, so to save time we
wound up on the motorway to bologna. Which was full of roadworks and
slow trucks.
We got off at Ferrara and rejoined (after a few false starts and stops
to checkthe map as the satnav was sulking and the roads weren't
marked) the SS16 along the coast. Do not try this at home. It is not a
good road. Believe me.
We got into Venezia around 4 and the day improved with pre-booked
parking, hotel nearby and near the centre and time to do a little
sightseeing.
Tomorrow we head (hopefully) for the Dolomites. Lots of twisties.
Should be fun. Um.
