Day 110: Italy Travel & Venice at Night

Stayed up late watching Fallout so a very slow morning packing up for our flight to Italy. While walking from the Corfu port to Corfu downtown the first day, we saw an amazing Greek grill and hoped to return. However, it was a bit too far and instead we decided to try our luck walking to the bus station.

By chance, we found the most delicious pork gyros from To Pikantiko which opened in 1995. Mary decided this was the best gyro in her entire life. They added additional spices to the meat and included a tomato sauce. We both lamented that we wish we discovered the place sooner and would have gone back a second time.

While riding the bus we met Journalist Kai from New Zealand who was visiting family in Italy and taking two months to explore the area. He loved the Wire and Japan so we had a fabulous discussion and recommendations for places to visit. Our flight was 45 minutes to Athens and 2 hours to Venice with a short layer over. First flight was delayed and luckily the second as well so bags and team made it.

We landed and bussed to Venice Mestri which is outside the city and a bit cheaper. A quick turn around and we were off to downtown Venice for a dinner and to see the city at night.
