We met outside the hotel at around midday and had a quick walk around, the girls still trying to decide which mask they wanted to buy, and then we all met up with Lu and Spider for lunch.
The owner of the restaurant was great fun - first of all it was the wedding anniversary of friends of his, so the music was turned up and there was lots of singing and celebration. Then (for reasons still unknown) he put on "happy birthday" and brought a cake over to the girls, again with the whole restaurant singing and the girls pretending it was their birthdays. Then he came over with a bride and groom statue, with more candles and put that in front of the girls - and re-lit the candle about 10 times, to make sure they both had a good go at blowing it out. In addition to all of this, an old man with an amazing voice came by and started singing in the square.
We then headed over to Piazza San Marco and to the Florian before saying goodbye to Carlo and Claudia, then back to the hotel via Harry's bar - Tobes and I snuck in for a couple of quick Bellinis, while Lu took the girls to look at more masks.
I went for a quick final shop with the girls, they bought their masks, and then we met up with Tobes, Lu and Spider for dinner before calling it a night. Have really loved our time in Italy and really loved being able to spend our last day with Carlo and Claudia here in Venice.
