Annual Parade of Venetian costumes...

Annual Parade of Venetian costumes..., Abano Terme

 mapakettle Says:  Ma Kettle and I were at the bus stop in Abano when we were told about the parade of Venetian costumes held each year at this time. We had been to Carnivale in Venice this year already, and the sights and excitement had gotten into our blood, so to be able to see more, but... 

Where's Waldo...?

Where's Waldo...?, Abano Terme

 mapakettle Says:  Ma Kettle did her normal 'disappearing trick' just as the parade started. One moment she was beside me, the next two hours she wasn't.I have gotten used to this over the years, so I hold on to the return tickets...just in case.I finally found her, just as the parade was... 

Even more parade...

Even more parade..., Abano Terme

 mapakettle Says:  Now this fellow stole the show. He played to the audience, made eye contact with people who had cameras, and did a quick pose for us.Immediately the tempo increased, the audience was included in the parade, we were a part of it now, no longer just spectators. His expressions... 

Annual Parade continued...

Annual Parade continued..., Abano Terme

 mapakettle Says:  This has got to be my favourite.... I wish I could tell you more but, no programs were to be found anywhere. It is almost as if the spectators knew what each costume represented, and who was from where.Prior to the parade starting, a young fellow handed out pamphlets to... 

Climb Monte Venda...

Climb Monte Venda..., Abano Terme

 mapakettle Says:  Hiking at its best, I guess, because Ma Kettle and I normally don't do it. This was good fun, a trifle difficult for those not used to doing it, but highly recommended by us.(after the fact)The sights from the top are worth every litre of moisture you lose.Pick up a copy of...

Venice to Abano airport bus

Venice to Abano airport bus, Abano Terme

 annielwatkins Says:  There is no info easily available about taking the bus from Venice to Abano (linea Montegrotto-Marco Polo). The bus starts at Marco Polo airport goes to Tessera airport and then to Piazzale Roma in Venice, then it sets off for Abano via Padua. I emailed around a lot and... 

Local Customs  

When doing anything physical, take some buddies

When doing anything physical, take some buddies, Abano Terme

 mapakettle Says:  I think it wise, that whenever you do something foolhardy like this, make sure you've got friends you can blame things on.Good fun at the time, a 'great' time after you've reached the bottom, and an even better time re-telling it over a drink or three.The hill gets steeper... 

Locals sit and drink wine...

Locals sit and drink wine..., Abano Terme

 mapakettle Says:  From comments received since writing my original travelogue on Monte Venda, the locals have advised me that they don't climb the mountain.They sit at the bottom of the hill, drink wine, and watch the rest of us silly fools do the deed.Apparently we provide lots of amusement... 

Warnings Or Dangers  

Thermal waters - but beat itchy skin

Thermal waters - but beat itchy skin, Abano Terme

 annielwatkins Says:  All thermal bathing establishments have poolside showers, but if you have never experienced the itchiness of not showering off the thermal water after you've bathed in it, you don't realise how important it is to shower it off. Our hotel in Abano, Hotel Roma, was a very good... 

It's a mountain....dress accordingly.

It's a mountain....dress accordingly., Abano Terme

 mapakettle Says:  Wear proper footwear. Monte Venda is a mountain, and requires good grip.Carry water, you will expend a lot of energy while climbing, and lose lots of body moisture (sweat).If you get tired, stop and rest. Don't allow yourself to be pressured by younger, more fit... 

What to Pack  

Your climbing essentials...

Your climbing essentials..., Abano Terme

 mapakettle Says:  Day pack, with water, and more water. Walking or climbing boots, with good ankle support. The path is very uneven with many deep ruts from water run-off.Gloves to ward off burrs. A hat to absorb sweat and shade you from the sun. Sunglasses to hide your bewildered look from...
