Starting off my birthday weekend right. We woke up early and headed to Jesolo beach. In August you have to make sure you leave early to go to the beach or almost anywhere, otherwise you will be stuck in major traffic!! This is because a lot of Italians take off the month of August and go on vacations, usually to the beaches.
We ended up leaving around 8:30ish, a little later than we planned but we were trying to wait for one of our friends who wanted to come, but ended up over sleeping. So we left him. A few of our other friends said they would meet us there as well, but had to wait for one of their friends who was meeting them at 10, so they could all go together.
I am so glad we left when we did because there was almost no traffic for us where we have normally get stuck at. We ended up arriving around 10 so went to go lay all of our stuff out on the beach first, because it was way too early for lunch.
I had not seen a beach so empty before in Italy. I guess getting up does have it's advantages, we could pick almost anywhere we wanted in the front section of the beach. Usually you have to try and find a small space available and squeeze your way in.
(The yellow umbrellas do not technically have people under them. In Italy a good portion or sometimes the whole beach have designated chairs and umbrellas you have to purchase that are always set up)
We relaxed on the beach until about 12:30ish and decided we need to find a place to eat for lunch.
We found a nice place on the main street, I can't remember what it was called though.
I ordered a shrimp pizza and added mushrooms. But of course they forgot to add the mushrooms. Preston ordered a pasta dish, which I thought was better than mine.
Time to enjoy the beach again.
We were still waiting for our friends to get there because they got a little lost. But they eventually made it there before we had to leave.
After spending about another hour after our friends finally got there we had to leave to go home, as we had been there for over 6 hours.
I would say another relaxing day at the beach in Italy!
