No surprise then, when Meet Director, Brett Janaway announced that the task today is cancelled due to to the damp weather and high winds. The direct translation of "damp" means rain, more rain and very very wet i.e. for those of you who are camping, now is the time to trade your tents for gondolas. In Belgian, this means that the weather is looking so bad, there is little point in turning up tomorrow. Next briefing will be on Tuesday!
So, a trip to Venice, only two hours away was the obvious option and did not disappoint. This beautiful romantic city, blessed with hazy sunshine, empty streets and a lazy Sunday atmosphere.
At the end of the day, I drove North to Gemona, to meet with South African friends John and Chris for their last night in Europe before returning home. A delicious dinner of succulent steak and a great bottle of Red in exchange for the fabulous Brae's they have spoilt us with this past week. Thank you Boys.
Later, with the car on auto pilot, Tom Tom and Tiguan meandered their way through the Julien Alps and mountain roads all the way back to Kobarid.
One last request before turning in for the night, if there is a God out there, any one will do, please let it stop raining in Kobarid. My washing needs to dry!
