Touring CSI (6 April - 23 April 2023), Day 1 & 2 - Kuala Lumpur to Venice via Istanbul

6 April, 2023, waiting for our 11.30 pm flight from Singapore to Istanbul

Meanwhile, Ryan who had flown from Manchester to Milan Bergamo on 5 April, bumped into Mindy and Zoe the next day! Both girls had started their trip from KL on 4 April. The whole team was to meet up at Hotel Mary, Venice on 7 April

Arrived in Istanbul at 5.35 am on April 7, after flying for 11 hours 5 minutes. With a layover of 6 hours 5 minutes, we chilled mostly at the airport's food court. The next flight top Venice was 11.40 am with a duration of 2 hours 2 minutes.

Finally arrived in Venice! 

Airport transfer

After we checked in to Hotel Mary and got our bikes pumped up, it was time to go shopping for dinner!

Lidl was only 1 km away from our hotel!

Buying frenzy as today is Good Friday and many shops were closed!

Even Ryan took awhile to get from Milan Bergamo to Venice as the trains were so packed he couldn't even board and was advised to wait for the later ones! (Bergamo - Rovato - Verona - Venice by train, then bus to Hotel Mary) He arrived in the evening, almost 7 pm

Motorhomes for sale next to the supermarket but cycling it is for us!
