Venice was a city of wonders. We camped outside the city since no cars were allowed in the city.

Drive back to Prague via Salzburg. What started as rain changed to snow in August crossing the Alps. The big trucks were not allowed on the road. Driving was scary. After crossing over, a rainbow appeared. All is well that ends well.
