Day 2 -Travel and arrival in Venice
We left Singapore at 11pm Tuesday 23 June (which is 1am Wednesday for you guys). I am totally out of whack now so never mind. I will call this part of the journey day 2. The flight to London was delayed because the door to the plane would not shut. We were delayed one hour which doesn’t sound like a lot, but add that to a 12 hour flight and it adds up. It was a very long night, and we arrived at London around 6am this morning. We then had a short wait before flying off to Venice to get to our boat.
We got in to Venice at around 11am. We were taxied off to the boat from the airport – that is where you find me now. We have unpacked, had a couple of drinks on the deck and now looking forward to some horizontal sleep for a change. The cabin looks fantastic. We have a massive balcony off the room and as I am writing this, Luke is already asleep catching up on lost Zzzzz’s. Our feet have blown up like balloons (just hoping it is only the long travel), and hoping some sleep will help our bodies recover.
Venice looks beautiful from what we have seen and we should be seeing some more tomorrow. Lots of English spoken everywhere, so we don’t feel awkward from a language perspective. There is a large mix of people on the ship, but a lot of Americans and Canadians at this point. Hopefully we will meet some Aussie’s too.
