Europe 2016 Sept 20th Day 23 Innsbruck to Venice

This morning up at 6am as I wanted to take the funicular railway to the top of the mountain above Innsbruck as its been clouded over while we've been here. Same again this morning but what the heck, walked to the station and caught the train up to the first stop which as you can see was clouded in, so had a quick look and back down in time to join Jane for breakfast in the hotel.
Packed and then out for some shopping, having at quick look at the Swarovski outlet before checking out and grabbing the car and on our way to Venice, approximately 350km away.
A really nice drive along the autobahn motorway with fantastic scenery, especially through the Brenner pass between Austria and Italy. Stopped at a fuel stop just after the pass and there were three "Dalmatian" cars parked. Obviously next year's model for some manufacturer, sorry but not a clue. Kept on going through the most marvelous scenery, stopping for lunch along the way before we eventually reached the Marco Polo airport to drop off the car around 3 pm. All good and then walked down to the water taxi's to catch one to the San Angelo stop at San Marco on the island where our Airbnb host Alessandro would be waiting. Went perfectly and he was waiting there and delivered us to the apartment. Fantastic, first floor Terrazzo flooring, enormous; just keeps getting better. Settled in and as usual hit the pavement to see as much as possible in the daylight hours. Stopped for a small vino in the San Sebastian Plaza before continuing walking into the evening before finally settling in a little place for a lovely pasta meal with some Vino Bianco and the most friendly staff.
Eventually headed back to the apartment via a bottle Shop for a bottle of Vino Bianco and to plan tomorrow's itinerary. Bloody hell past 11pm, time for some zzzzz's.
