Bonjiurno from Italy!

Today wasn't our most exciting day, but we covered lots of ground!  Over 800km.  it was sad leaving Slovenia.  We can't say enough about how great is there.  We also had our first real rainy day so at least we didn't feel like we missed anything!  Today we drove from Bled to Ortona, Italy.  We got in around 5:30 and our accommodations are great!  Airbnb came through again!  We are staying a bit out in the country in a beautiful house surrounded by vineyards and cats!  We made dinner at home tonight which was a nice change, as we need to stick to the budget.  Driving in Italy is no cheap thing!  Our toll was 47€ and gas is 1.70€ a litre, which I am sure will only increase as we head to Switzerland next week!

We drove into ortona and were left unimpressed.  We weren't sure what to expect, but of the places we have been, it's not our favorite.  And we are finding its true that Italian drivers are a bit scary!!  Hopefully tomorrow after we visit the Canadian war Memorial and museum we have a better view about this town.  After lunch we will head to the amalfi coast for the weekend.  I am very much looking forward to some beach time!
