Freezing snow drifts in Southern Germany:  after the delights of the Mosel valley, our next camp at Bad Feilnbach close to the Austrian border was one of the coldest ever. But it brought us another 380 miles closer to Venice for the ferry to Greece

Grand Canal at Venice:  from one extreme of weather to another; we enjoyed wonderful Spring sunshine for our rest day in Venice. Gondolas galore in this classic scene from the Rialto Bridge - one of Venice's many delights
