VIA VENEZIA

Sometime during the water filling fiasco the water filler neck got damaged and this morning the cap won’t lock.  So after servicing we have to tape the cap in place with duct tape.
We leave Camping Covelo promising ourselves we won’t wait so long before returning again.
Our drive today is a largely uneventful run along the autostrada towards Venice, where we see the Lombardy region give way to the Veneto and Friuli region which is more attractive with farming and vineyards, notably Valpollicella.  We make good progress apart from some minor hold ups at roadworks and nearly being diddled at a fuel station when Ali notices a receipt for €126 when we’ve had €106 worth of fuel.  The cashier slaps his ‘faulty’ till and gives her the €20 note that was no doubt destined for his pocket.
We reach Venice and find Camping Venizia where we park to check in.  The German who is checking in takes umbrage at where Nick has parked Mary*Lou, despite it being a box marked P - Check In Only.  Words are exchanged until Nick tells him to read the sign, more words then Nick asks if he is the new campsite manager, and if not, then stop ordering people around where he has no authority.  He finishes checking in and manages to move his van easily so why fuss?
We park and rest for the afternoon.
