I arrived in Venice and had to find the hotel where we were booked in, this is all very well when you know where to go. But I am getting good at getting lost and then finding my way, so it was a quick sms to Chris who is flying in to join me. Chris has found the coordinates for the hotel and I have put them into my GPS and I still have an hour ahead of me as the hotel is on the other side of the bay in which Venice is an island. When you receive coordinates every little number counts so I was surprised to only receive 48`44.00 and so on any way I was off. Those last numbers mean quite a lot about a kilometre from where I was supposed to be… But its okay my new map all in Italian should help NOT so then it’s time to ask that’s also fun as I have only just got the boujour for France right. I find the hotel and I am a day early as planned so I decided to stay in the hotel and give Fritz a rest.
