Jo here... After arriving back in Venice we headed to San Marco square to see how big the line was to the basilica. On the way we found a nice mask shop and bought some masks. On arrival to the basilica it was still too long to wait in the hot sun to get into the church so we again decided to give it a miss. We did though jump on the water bus to Murano island to see the glass works that are famously produced there. It was amazing and a a beautiful island. We had a look around at the shops and the show rooms and were lucky enough to see the last glass blowing demonstration for the day. The man created a glass horse with ease. It was incredible! It only took him a few minutes but I imagine he’s been doing the same thing for the past 10-15 years.
Once back on the main island we strolled back through the streets to catch the bus back to Sarsha so that we could get well on our way to Germany. We had picked a campsite on the boarder of Italy and Austria to stay but upon arrival at around midnight we were told they were full but somehow we think they didn’t want Sarsha chugging through the campsite waking everyone up. Fair enough we thought so we kept driving and Aims and Jake had spotted signs to an ‘auto-stop’. We were unsure as to exactly what it meant but we thought we would give it a try. Luckily it turned out to be a great stop-over. It was just off the motor-way and there were lots of motor homes set up there for the night. The place looked like a car park but was complete with hook-up electricity. It was perfect to catch a few hours sleep and best of all it was only €12.00!
