Time to leave Venice, but not before the famed gondola ride.

It was high tide, so the bridge clearance was tight. That required some tilting of the gondola and movement of the ballast (us passengers) to navigate through some places. The angled view of the water and impending gravitational pull did not make the ride as relaxing as we had imagined. But, it was a lot of fun (all thrills, thankfully no spills).

Next: all roads lead to Rome. On our way, we stopped just off the highway for a late lunch at a restaurant. We had missed their lunch window, so it was down to having some snacks in the car.

Charging:

Our Tesla had sat in the car park on the mainland for a couple of days. We neglected to check if they had charging available. The restaurant had Tesla Superchargers outside, which charged us up while we found the toilet, that we’d missed the lunch window, and grabbed some snackage.
