Day 16

Last night Rich decided to check the depth of Venice's grand canal with a backflip off a bridge, even after shouted warnings from the local Indian salesman. Needless to say, he cut his foot.. but it was tiny. Greg decided to take Kit, Rich, Jake and Aaron on a shortcut across Venice which resulted in missing the bus back to camp. This morning we got up and out by 7 and had done 70km by 12. A quick lunch turned into a 4 hour nap, so we got going again late afternoon. We have now passed the 1000 mile mark and tonight we've found a place to camp 30km from Trieste which may be a dogging spot.. Only time will tell. Tomorrow we should leave Italy, cross Slovenia and head into Croatia!
