Almost as good as travel itself is planning a travel itinerary. \u00a0As a part-time travel blogger with a lot of full-time responsibilities that take precedence, unfortunately I do far more of the planning than I do the traveling. I still enjoy it, though… and on a rainy Labor Day, I did myself the favor of transporting my mind to another place by planning our Italy trip in October.<\/a><\/p>\n

Venice to Rome Itinerary in 13 Days<\/h2>\n

Venice to Rome in 12 Days Itinerary<\/p><\/div>\n

Day 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Arriving at 12:00 in Venice, we’ll get our rental car (Budget\/Nissan Micra\/ Booked on Expedia $28\/day ~ reimbursed by Barclaycard Arrival World Mastercard). We’ll then take the scenic route to Slovenia through Austria and arrive at Lake Bled in time to take a rowboat out to the island, enjoy dinner, and a stroll along the lake. \u00a0I became convinced that we needed to make the drive to see Lake Bled after seeing some autumn photos. Wow.<\/p>\n

We’ll stay at Carman Guest House, right on Lake Bled ~$71 reimbursed by the\u00a0Barclaycard Arrival World MasterCard<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Day 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

We’ll start the day with breakfast as the mist rises off the lake, then take a tour of Bled Castle, perched high on an outcropping above the lake. Taking a different route, we’ll return to Venice by way of Slovenia’s capital,\u00a0Ljubljana.<\/p>\n

We’ll park our car near the Mestre rail station and take a train into Venice. \u00a0We’ll want to see St. Marco’s Square, Rialto bridge, the Doge’s Palace, and with great reluctance, fork over 100 euro for a romantic gondola ride.<\/p>\n
