A little above the sea level, Comacchio is a small Venice, in the Delta Po. We arrived there early in the morning, while searching for the headquarters of the Delta Po Park. As everything else in Italy, this was not that easy to find and after trying to get by car to the headquarters, we gave up and started taking Comacchio on foot. We managed to find a tourism office in the end, and than after some more walking through the hot day we found it.

Unfortunately they are not really that well organized at the national parks in Italy and everything seems to be possible only if you announce them ahead. Otherwise everything is “divieto di acceso” (forbidden to enter). So no more Delta Po for us.

Since we had lost half a day with this task we did some exploration of Comacchio instead, and were charmed by the narrow streets and the canals. This is the only place where we could find some internet connection at the public library. From 4 computers connected to the internet, only one actually worked at a snail speed. Coming from a country where you can find internet connections basically everywhere…Italy was a huge disappointment.

After a few more hours we were on our way to the real Venice, and stopped for the night in a locality close to it. Here from a little pier we could watch the big ships passing by from the harbor.

Was not that much of an exciting day, but I will let the photos speak for themselves.
