home again, home again

We had perfect weather until the morning (the very early morning) that we left Venice and even that was a bit of an adventure. A boat taxi picked us up on the Grand Canal in front of our hotel and whisked us off to the airport for the beginning of the 24 hour marathon trip home. Our last view of the old part of Venice was seen through a sheen of misty rain. Even that seemed exotic.
Once at the airport we had a chance to explore the sack breakfast that the hotel had packed for each of us.  We had lots of interesting and delicious food on the trip but the sack breakfast was definitely the most entertaining.  There was a bottle of juice and one of water, a packet of crackers and a small packet of Nutella, two wrapped sweet rolls, and two candy bars and an apple. I had the distinct impression that the kitchen staff had just tossed whatever they could find in our sacks. But throughout the day those little bits and pieces were quite good. And that's the end of my travelling tale.
