Venice, the floating city!

Hi there,

Here i am in the cyber bus at the Venice campsite. we are very much enjoyinmg our cabins and are making the most of the warmth in them as apparently it is staying cold!

Today we caught the ferry into the city and got ourselves lost in the small streets. at one stage we got lost and managed to walk around in a cirle 4 times, without finding the only bridge to take us out of the little back alleys that we were in... so we are keeping with the tradition of getting ourselves lost in every city. A little scary as we didn't want to miss our gondola ride!

We (Holly, Kim and myself - who get along really well together) hooked up with a couple of well prepared guys on our tour and went in the gondola. they had remembered to bring the cheese and bikkies and the wine, to snack on whilst we were gondola-ring along the canals! Great fun!

Anyway, we also went to a lace making display - a realise that there are some very worthwhile traditions, but i'd doubt i'd offer to spend 8 months of my life making one table cloth!
we also went to the glass blowing display, which was amazing! Brilliant and so quick! You'd want to be good at it after a 20 year apprenticeship!

We had a huge night last night in the Fusini Bar, were there was dancing around the wet slippery floor without shoes, and table top dancing, it was a quick and early start today. After wandering around for a while and really enjoying the town and the sights, we ate fantastic pizza, huge slices, but i can't post the photos cos this computer won't let me! Anyway, also had spaghetti for lunch! Bellissimo!

Well, off to Florence tomorrow and am looking forward to crachihng in my cabin again! But first a phone call home!

Love you all and keep the comments coming! Work mates, didn't i teach you anything??? Ask Carol, i showed her!
