I was out of the apartment by 09.45 raring to go and get my phone unlocked and buy internet access. it takes about one hour to get to the Rialto where the Vodafone shop is located. I went THREE times. The first i needed a new sim card for my dongle. Current promotion will not work, but I hadn’t taken my passport so I had to go home for it.
Two hours later I am back with passport - unfortunately I had got almost to the vap when I realized I still hadn’t picked it up & had to go back home. I had stopped off at the new greengrocers for some veg & after putting it away forgot what I had returned for!
Bought the new sim, extra €5, also had to pay €5 to get my phone unlocked as it hadn’t been used for 6 months. Fortunately the €22 credit was still there. All this is just a money raising exercise for Vodafone just like speed cameras!
I thought as it would take a few hours to connect i would walk over the Rialto bridge and have some cicchetti for lunch at Do Mori. More about this and photos later.
The weather was pleasant so I walked from there back down to the Zattere for the vap via Campo Santa Margheita and called to see my friends at a bar near where I first lived. Back at my apartment the internet worked but would not let me on line or send or receive emails. You’ve guessed it, I packed up my Mac & went off again to the Rialto. I had to wait half an hour - only one person in front of me & it worked straight away!
On my way home I called at the coop for a bottle of red wine.
