Last Day in Bled…On to Venice!
Julie Howlett # 23
Today we woke up early for out last morning in Bled, Slovenia. We took a couple of buses up to a beautiful path above an amazing gorge between the mountains. The color of the water was crystal clear and we all wished the water was warm enough to jump in! But we learned that the water was snow on the mountains a couple of hours earlier, not nearly warm enough. We stopped many times throughout the trail to take team pictures. We then all piled back into the buses for a 3 hour drive to Italy. When we woke up (stopped on the side of the road) we wondered where we were, our driver responded “close, but if we don’t find a gas station soon we will run out of gas”…just our luck! We made it to our hotel right outside of Venice and walked about a minute down the road for some home-made Italian pizza from Crazy Pizzeria. We then had a couple of hours to relax and traveled to a “pedestrian place” (not the city of Venice) for some Gelato before our match. After we played our second to last match against San Donoro, and although we learned a lot about ourselves the match didn’t end the way we had wanted it to. All if us were exhausted and starving so went back to Crazy Pizzeria for the second time of the day. This time we had pizza, lasagna, and some pasta… delicious! The end of the night came sooner than expected but we are all excited to go to sleep because tomorrow we get to go to Venice!
