Euganei Hills and Castelfranco Veneto

We had a very peaceful nights sleep in Battaglia Terme Sosta with our French neighbours next door.

The morning started a bit overcast but soon the sun came out and was quite warm, so we set off to explore the Euganei Hills behind us.

We stopped at a small village called Arqua Petrarca which was very pretty and of course dominated by the church. The surrounding fields and grapevines left little doubt about how this and surrounding villages earned their living, as well as the tourists that visit for whom a very large car park has thoughtfully been provided.

After a wander around and an attempt at a conversation with a local, we set off north for the town of Castelfranco Veneto.

This is medieval town with very well preserved town walls that, along with a moat encircle the entire town. It`s very picturesque and we enjoyed our time having a wander around and taking photographs.

Parking was easy with a very large carpark just outside the town walls.

Later we set off for Venice, the jewel of this region and this evening we are installed at Camping Venezia Village. The site main attraction is it`s convenience for Venice. It is located on the left hand side as you join the dual carridgeway to take you across the bridge (Via della Liberta) onto the island to Pizzale Roma. A bus runs from outside the site every 15 minutes, so that`s our plan for tomorrow.
