Arrivederci Venezia - Sailaway, October 8



This morning the fog is so thick that at times we can’t see the stack on the ship docked next to us. Hopefully it will begin to clear before we sail at 1:00 PM. We have invited some friends to our cabin for a sailaway party and the group begins to gather just before one.

As we begin to move up the Giudecca Canal the fog does break up and we can see the spectacular view of the Piazza San Marco and the Doge’s Palace and the rest of the city around them. We have ordered a tray of Bellinis (peach nectar and champagne – the signature drink of Venice) and with Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman singing “Time to Say Goodbye” we sail away. It’s always sad to leave Venice.
