Day 16: Munich, Montebelluna and Venice

We spent the night, once again, trying to sleep on a train. We left Munich at 11:45 PM, and pulled into the station at Venice Italy at 7:45 AM. Since it was too early to check into our hotel, .Craig Quam and Kathy in Asolo Italywe just walked over two tracks and caught the local train to Montebelluna, where we planned to meet with Craig Quam, who pastors several Calvary Chapel outreach churches in northern Italy.

Craig picked us up from the train station and drove us to the old city of Asolo, which was originally built for the queen of Cyprus. We had a great time of fellowship, and then caught the train back to Venice at noon. We made it to our hotel by 2:00 PM and set out to explore Venice.

After walking down to St. Mark's square, watching the pigeons, walking through a few churches, and crossing the Rialto bridge we were ready for some dinner. We found a nice restaurant from our guidebook, had a romantic dinner and headed for bed. Here are a couple of photos.
