Left our lovely hotel in Sorrento after 2 nights. Would have been nice to spend another day. Headed to Assisi, stopping on the way at Cassino to visit the Commomwealth War Cemetery, dedicated to WW2 veterans. It was good to see that it was so well kept and maintained. Very moving. Arrived in Assisi to visit the crypt and basilica of St Francis. Before our visit had a message from Kim "contact me, doesn't matter what time". Panic set in. It was wonderful to hear that her baby had arrived and all was OK with both of them. Mel was so excited and the whole bus heard the news and saw the first pictures. We had a drink to wet the baby's head.
This morning we left for Venice. Spent most of the day on the bus, arriving at 3pm and straight onto the gondolas, a walk around Venice and a water taxi tour of the Grand Canal. Tomorrow we are in Venice again for the Murano glass blowing demo followed by some shopping/free time. In the afternoon we are catching a water taxi to the island of Burano, a fishing village for a late lunch.
