Early morning rise and a quick drive back over to Switzerland. The weather was cold and raining but that was all the more reason to use our new umbrellas. Since we got there before the shops opened we went for a touristic walk in the streets of Geneva visiting the City Hall and other important and historic areas. Afterwards we had some free time to go souvenir shopping and buy some Swiss chocolate (yummy) or if you were cold some warm genie pants.
We got back to the bus at 10:30 to start our travels to Italia!
As usual to amuse ourselves we swapped between sleeping and watching movies (with the odd entertaining story telling sessions from Raphael).
Just before a quick stop for lunch we passed through the 11.3 km tunnel of Mont Blanc and arrived in Italia!
Once arriving in Italy we still had 6 hours of driving left so to stretch our legs and give the bus toilet a break, we had another stop at around 5 pm.
We could tell when we arrived in Italy because the temperature suddenly rose and the architecture and scenery changed to a typical italian landscape making us want to stare through the windows in awe.
Finally at 9 pm we arrived to our practically beachside hotel and moved as quickly as we could to our rooms (we had 1 elevator and we were all on the top floor) so we could come to downstairs to enjoy a typical Italian dinner.
After we were full of lasagne and tiramisu we were given the chance to check out the main street of Lido Di Jesolo.
At around 11:30 pm we all returned to our rooms, completely a long day, and looking forward to a long sleep-in !
