RHUMB TO VENICE AND ADRIATIC COAST

Being in Mariano Comense, the newspaper of Cantu puts in contact with Ely to make us a small interview and the same day that we left, it was published. The picture shows the clipping of the newspaper.

Sadly we say goodbye to Ely and Maurizio, to whom we took many affection for the days that we have shared.
We went to Brescia for another expected meeting; the family of a friend in Spain, original from Colombia; Sebastian, Michelle and Liliana, with them we also spent very beautiful days.

Although it was very hard; we arrived to Verona, the known city for the love story of Romeo and Juliet. We only spent one day there, so we did an intense visit, seeing that it’s really worth a visit.

The centre in surrounded in its most part by the river, which was uses as a defends once, and inside there is the Duomo, the amphitheater, Erbe square, and near that square the house of Juliet, where the people write their love wishes in the entry to the place where is the known balcony.


In the house of our friend Andres of CS, we prepared with them a “cake party” which it consisted about to make around 200 creeps of different flavors, and we shared later with a lot of Andre’s friends.
In the night Andres and a friend brought us to a hill to see the nice night views.

Our next destination is Venice, very famous place for which we had a lot of curiosity; but something that we never had thought is that we could go by taxi from Verona. A taxi pick us up out of Verona saying that he was going to pick up his client in Venice, and that today was our lucky day.

Venice, is like a couple of islands separate around 5km from the mainland, and which are separated by a big canal and plenty of small canals which flowing between the old buildings, and hundreds of tiny streets unity by plenty of bridges.


The most singular of this city are the canals of course. Here is not allowed the motor vehicles, so the police, ambulance, even the postman goes by ship, launch, gondola…


But a part of the canals, the streets are so incredible, there are streets where only one person can go through it, and on the top of the building are almost touching each other.
Personally the most interesting is to lost by the streets, specially which are out of the touristic circuits; and lost yourself it is very easy because the whole city is a real maze.


If you visit Venice be careful with your pocket, everything is very expensive, for example one hour in internet is around 8€, of course we have different methods, the library of the university students is very interesting to visit…

The San Marco Basilica that is found on the square of the same name is another nice place to visit, especially if the visit is in the night, when there are few people, everything is light, and the musicians make pleasant night with their music.


During our first day by the Adriatic coast, is the first time that a big truck pick us up, and we found a very nice guy, Hans, with who we went during hours to the city of Pesaro.
As we had not clear destination, we use the big length that Hans gave us on his journey, and we decided to arrive Urbino, but for the first time too we couldn’t arrive to our destination, with the night fallen we slept in Gallo.

It seems that we never arrive…, Urbino is on the top of a hill, and on the highest point there is a fort from where there are amazing views of the city and all around; a landscape that remember us to our land in Cantabria, everything green, mountains and the sea near here. We also saw the sculpture of Rafaello who was living in this city.


Hitchhiking all the time we arrived to Civitanova Marche where we spent the night over the beach, with an amazing sunrise the next day in the morning.
