A Day in Mestre - Mainland of Venice - A Hidden Gem


Oh my, what a restful night we had.  We slept until 8 am and entirely through the night!

I wake feeling refreshed and no sinus pain!

We lay in bed for a few hours, reading, watching Grace and Frankie on Netflix and decide we should probably go out and explore.

We could easily catch the bus right outside the hotel to Venice but we both agree that we wanted to see the town nearby called Mestre.

Our 48hr bus pass works on the manland buses so we catch the #9 bus and after a few minutes we are in the small town.



We get some coffees and proceed strolling through shops, and even a mall.  

There is a street market happening so we window shop.




We spot a nice place for lunch and excellent it is vegetarian.  Oh and it was so good.  I enjoyed an eggplant, lettuce, chick pea spread sandwich with some baked potatoes.



We strolled around some more and we really like it here.  It is too bad so many visitors only see the islands of Venice and this is overlooked.  Oh and it is so much more reasonably priced too.  

It has been a relaxing day and it is just what we needed.  It appears I am over this stomach thing and able to keep food down. 

Tomorrow we fly to Sardinia.  

Thanks for following.
