When the door of our plane opens at the Venice airport we
are immediately hit with heat; something we had not felt in quite a while. We went from mid 60 degree, cloudy weather to
mid 90s sunny; what a change! We
wandered around the airport for a bit before we found the car rental lot (naturally
on top of a parking garage), got our vehicle for the next week and reminded ourselves
to drive on the right-hand side of the road.
And off we go. We are heading for
a shopping mall – we need another outfit or 2 each geared to 90-degree
weather. True to form when you need
clothing nothing seems right, but in the end we each get something and then the
adventure starts. We are heading north
of Venice to a small town in the Veneto
region which is a wine region specializing in sparkling wine. Did I say
small? We are staying in a Bed and
Breakfast called Villa Toderini and yes there is a fancy house associated with
it, but that’s not where the rooms are; we are in a newer building. The website has some directions, but we find
ourselves circling around this small town when suddenly I see a sign for it and
we turn. Still not sure we are in the
correct place till I notice the door says Agritourism on it. We are warmly greeted and shown our room for
the next 2 nights. Room is nice and is
actually 2 stories with a twin bed and a chest of drawers up the stairs.
