Very quick blog this morning, as only have Internet access downstairs in the lobby, and uploading photos takes forever. Plus – I have to select from the 700+ I took yesterday!
6:30am start from Rome and train into Venice. Then water ferry to our hotel, beside the Rialto Bridge on the Grand Canal.
Venice is beautiful, very hot. We checked in and (unsuccessfully) tried to find Tobe’s sister, Lu and her husband, Martin (Spider). So the four of us had lunch at a fabulous restaurant overlooking the Grand Canal, had a wander around the streets, and then caught a ferry to Piazza San Marco for a couple of bevis, and icecream for the girls at the famous Florian bar. Really beauful, watching the world go by – and Clouds desperate for a bit of hands-on pigeon action, while Ava ran through the “batches” of pigeons, trying to catch them. This was hilarious – she caught three, feathers everywhere, and then managed to accidently stand on one, in front of the cameras of many Japanese tourists, who had gathered to take photos of both of the girls with the pigeons.
We met Lu and Spider at the Florian, celebrated with champers, and then all walked back to the a restaurant by the hotel. Lots of fun, lots of laughs and all in bed relatively early.
