After aborting the Terra we headed for Venice, the city of water. We deceided to try something different and stay at camping grounds why not hey? thanks to Lauren who suggested we stay here on the mainland because it was so much fun! This camp site was camping Fusina, and was amazing! we stayed in cute little cabins the campgrounds were suberb. As soon as we walked through the grounds we knew it was going to be good. 2 Bars... one brand new one which was opening THAT night.... a Resturant, beer garden and Pizzeria! It was right on the water. After walking around a bit we decided to go check out the bar. The first thing Nik saw was strongbow on tap and you can imagine her reation! Now picture this reation........ when Nik went to order 2 pints, Jono (the bar tender...soon to become our new friend, trust us to make best mates with the bar tender!).....told her that they didnt stock strong bow! he felt so bad, that we got drinks for cheap/free all night! Nik got him to put Grenadine in her beer. 1/2 a snakebite! that will do the job! . After playing car for a while, we decided to head to the bar next door that was opening that night, so 2 for 1 drinks! About 30 minutes later we were getting free shots left right and centre from the staff and before you know it an entire bus of contiki tour rocked up! the bar tenders were lining up free shots, and lighting them on fire....... and it was free drinks for anyone that was dancing on the table!! of course Hols and Nik were 1st ones up there! ..... this is where The Nikky and Holly show started, we ended up chorographing a new dance with all our mates siginature dance moves . so we had Hols dance move.... (not the Russian, as Niks is not really up to speed with that just yet!, but the other one)..... swinging monkey.... we fed the horses for the boys, Caths hair flick, hol and wazza's cow rope move..... a bit of kick ball change thown in for style! it was fab!!
The next day we headed to venice. Jono who lived there all last summer gave us a 'non tourist' tour. So the first stop was a cute little pub for a hair of the dog..... we had a 'spritzer' and some amazing little canpoes..... we sat in the sun on the grass and enjoyed the lovely sunshine! we were also joined by Donna, she had arrived the same day as us, another aussie who was going to be working the summer at camping Fusina. To make up for not having cider at the camping bar, Johnno walked around trying to remember where a pub was that served Cider! it was a cute little irish pub, and so of course we went in and had a strongbow! right Nik was the happiest little vegemite alive, and ready to be a tourist! We went on a amazing condolda ride for 30 minutes which was beautiful and so much fun, then we had some yummy pizza and visited St Marks bascilla and had the worlds best gelati. Thank god Holly can read maps cause Nikky as been to venice before and still get lost! Every bridge we walked acoss... we were like ' oh yeah thats the way home' 'i swear we have gone past that bridge before'.... but for those of you who have been to venice before will know exactly what we are talking about! YOUR LOST! after 30 minutes we found our selves back at the ferry port! job to Porky pants on getting us back! Back at the camping site, again, the party was a big one! More dancing and more free shots.... Nik ended up swapping clothes... as she does! even some of the grannies were were staying in the camper vans were right there with us on the table tops! it was soooo much fun!
The next day Hol begged Nikky to stay longer as we had the best time ever in venice and didnt want to leave! Hol had even lined us up jobs for the season! Although the idea sounded great, and we definatly thought we could stay, we had too many other exciting things to do! maybe next year? we were off to Croatia on an overnight bus! FUN!
