After going to bed rather late last night (you can read about our excellent dinner at our other blog here) and getting only about 5 hours of sleep, we are back on the road again and on our way to Florence. It’s about a 400 km drive which hubby and I might usually do in 5 hours or so but we’re guessing it will take longer with our friends in tow.
The first part of the drive has not been that nice and it actually took us quite a while to get from Punta Sabbioni into the modern part of Venice (which has none of the charm of the historic city on the canals that everyone generally thinks of) and then out of the city altogether. At the moment we’re passing through rather marshy land and skirting the ocean a bit still. Not necessarily all that pretty to look at and it’s fairly overcast again today but Ayla doesn’t mind at all.
Since she usually guards the premises most of the night, we figure she must be happy to be in the truck and driving which means she can sleep peacefully knowing she doesn’t have to watch out for us so much. She’s been so great on this trip so far and only barks when she hears a “threat” or another dog really going crazy. She’s definitely more vocal while camping than while we’re at home or anywhere else but since she has to be on the look out for us all the time, we understand and really appreciate having her watching over us.
