Day three we met up in
the main Piazza and it was the St Trinians day which we did not take
participate in, this is because Al was adamant he did not want to put on a
dress, but after seeing that 80% of the teams had made the effort, he made the
comment "I wish we had done it" Anyway the morning started well and I pulled a
tasty blonde, I think her name was Dave.

We were now pretty
confident in "Dave's" ability at tackling mountain passes so gave him the
challenge of crossing the Italian Alps.
Again the scenery was
spectacular and we had an uneventful trip to Venice. The days challenge was to
take the spare tyre and get a train into Venice then make our way to Saint
Marks square for a group photo.
The challenge for
points was pretty
stupid really and ruined what could have been a nice afternoon in Venice,
theres not much sight seeing to be had hauling a spare tyre about especially as
those dressed in St Trinians gear were still wearing it and judging by the
looks from the locals. tranny's are not welcome in Venice! pickpockets and
shopkeepers that short change you are very welcome, Tranny's NOT ON YOUR
NELLY.
Anyway there was no way I was carrying the tyre, not with my bad back
no way Pedro! and would have been more than happy to fore go the points. But
our hero of the day was Adrian, he carried that spare wheel all the way from
the station to Saint Marks square, through the narrow smelly streets of Venice
that were packed with bloody tourists! However we did get the water taxi back
and when you consider that takes 20 minutes you can work out how long it took
to walk it!
The best thing they could do with Venice is fill the waterways with
concrete and get some roads put in! also they could get rid of some of those
tatty old buildings and get some new ones built, I mean how many churches do
you need? couple of B & Qs and a Tescos etc. would not go a
miss.

After the Venice fun and
games it was a quick jolly across to Sottomarina and another hotel for the
night. It was suprising and refreshing to see so many old bangers in the car
park, a couple of horror stories were told, about brakes, oil leaks, fuel pumps
etc. But "Dave" was still running like a dream!
Sottomarina although it
sounds nice is really just like Rhyl ! and just as tacky nothing a good
bulldozer would not sort out. Although it had a nice beach.
