is April 18, 2010 and part with some friends to Venice Lido waterfront destination Pellestina. In Venice there is the traditional march "Up and down pai Bridges" and the station of Bassano at 7.00 teeming with people. We arrive in Saint Lucia and the railway station is invaded by runners and by whom, because of the cloud of the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull , is forced to opt for the train because of the blockade of flights.
leave the confusion, let's get on the ferry after a 40 minute boat ride we landed in Venice Lido. From here we get on bus number 11 towards Malamocco.
go down a few stops on the first try and first access to the sea. There is a beach of golden sand, but a wall a few meters followed by a pavement that ends with a breakwater composed of huge blocks of stone. Are embankments built to protect the country from the sea. Stand along the embankments of the barracks allegedly used by locals to protect from the sun during the summer. The cabins are decorated with colorful objects such as graffiti, wood carvings, books and all that more Stan the sea returns. Nearby the remains of fires and grills.
and the "Trattoria da Poor" is waiting! We enter the bar and wear the traditional cicchetti accompanied by the inevitable shadow of white.
We sit out because, unlike the weather, there's a hot sun that lights the sky and breathe the fragrance of the sea.
The menu is full of delicious food and to avoid mistakes we order a mixed appetizer, where the special traditional " sardines in saor .
We follow the path that leads us to the beach through dunes covered with vegetation and reach the shore. The beach is full of waste that the sea gives to man. The sight is still impressive. To the south we see a huge construction site for the construction of the Mose and that led to the destruction of approximately 3 acres of oasis in spite of the struggle carried out by LIPU to search for alternative solutions. We enjoy this corner of paradise where the silence is broken only by the sound of the waves.

Resume Pellestina the boat and go back to where we stop in the square of the village. The atmosphere is unusual. The pace is slow and calm, it seems to be the Aegean island where he set Salvatores 'Mediterraneo'. These are the 17 is the sun begins its slow turning down the lagoon in a gilded mirror.

leave the seafront and back towards the center of the country, we go to church and meet the pastor who very kindly told us in the short Malamocco story and shows us the works of art. But it's noon and the "Trattoria da Poor" is waiting! We enter the bar and wear the traditional cicchetti accompanied by the inevitable shadow of white.

Recall the No. 11 bus that takes us up to Alberoni located in the extreme south of the island of Lido. We board the bus on the ferry boat that landed us Pellestina Island. We cross the island to the southern terminus where we embark again on a ferry which takes us to the natural oasis of Ca 'Roman. We follow the path that leads us to the beach through dunes covered with vegetation and reach the shore. The beach is full of waste that the sea gives to man. The sight is still impressive. To the south we see a huge construction site for the construction of the Mose and that led to the destruction of approximately 3 acres of oasis in spite of the struggle carried out by LIPU to search for alternative solutions.
