Yesterday we drove down through Austria into Italy and into Vicenza. We are staying here while we visit Venice for a couple of days. There is just one problem ( well two actually). Today it rained all damn day. Not just a sprinkle, but the kind of steady, get on your nerves rain that just makes being out and about as a tourist, not nearly as much fun as it should be.
When got up and saw the rain coming down-we thought we would beat it by driving out to the town of Nove, where the S.O. could do some ceramic shopping. Which was all well and good and we got out relatively unscathed.
But the rain had not stopped. So by the time we got out to the bus stop to catch the train to the Stazione, the umbrellas were getting a good work out. And while we dried out some on the train, we got right back into it as we walked from the station to San Marco square.
And the rain just kept on coming as we walked towards San Marco square:
By the time we got to San Marco plaza-it was pouring.
It really did rain:
More to follow in a later post. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better.
