Jesolo Beach Resort

On the Sunday before we left Adriano called asking if we wanted to visit Jesolo, a beachside resort. Sure, let's go! Only thing was that the weather was rather cool and cloudy. Since we did not plan on doing any swimming or sunbathing this was not a problem.

Cautiously we left the car with umbrellas in hand, not raining now but what is going to happen in 5 minutes?? Luckily there were only a few raindrops that fell on us.

Danna, Nerina and Adriano all ready for the rain.

Here are a few shots of the empty beaches, yesterday was a sunny day and many people were out enjoying the sun.

In a few short weeks you will not be able to find an empty spot on this stretch of sand. Many of the tourists come from Germany, menus are in Italian, English and German.

Funny what you can find as you stroll along the boardwalk.
Never thought we would see any movie stars.

On both sides of the Main Street are rental apartment buildings. They are fully booked from June to September and are virtually empty the rest of the year. The balconies are very colourful.

Here is a local gas station, prices are Diesel at €1.428 and Gas at €1.592 per litre which works out to $2.23 and $2.48 CDN per litre. And here I though our gas prices were high. Guess this is why there are more small cars and scooters on the road over here. In our travels I have only seen one North American pickup, A Dodge with. 5.7 litre Hemi.
