When we left the campsite at Lake Garda, the girls at the reception asked anxiously if we had any reservation at Venice. We did not, and since they looked so worried, we became a little worried. But it was no problem!

We didn't bother to queue for all the sights, but we did go inside the Doge's Palace where we were also down in the dungeons (where Peter managed to lock the rest of us behind bars...).
We also had a lunch consisting of one (small, thin and chewy) pizza each, one beer each for me and Peter and two 33 cl colas for the guys. It ended up at the tidy sum of 800 SEK... Now we have moved on to a campsite higher up on the Adriatic Sea. As usual, we drink wine and bubbles every day, but if you have a motorhome, you have to keep your class ...
