Venice!

So here we are in Venice. Top photo is of us in the "Love Seat" on the Gondola!
Here we are floating down the cannel in Venice with Mark & Charlotte. We were going to swap seats after 10 mins but you are not aloud to move around the Gondola. So unfortunantley Ben and I had to stay in the love seat.

Here we are standing on a bridge over the Cannel.
This is the bridge of sighs. Its called the brige of sighs because everyone who was entering the Jail to the left would sigh as they were walking over the bridge!
In Venice is where we decided to take some black and white photos. We think it makes Venice look nicer!

This is the bridge on which the markets are on. There are 5 different stores then they are repeited. You can get lots of Masks which were absolutley amazing. I wanted them all but Ben said no!

So all in all we had a good day in Venice. When we got there and had a look around we got to go to a lace demonstration. It was quite amazing to hear how much detail goes into Grannies Doilies but its something Ben and i are not terribaly interested in. We did enjoy seeing something that only happens in Venice though.
Im also renaming the Grand Cannel to "The Bloody Big Cannel"! Do you think that will catch on?
We went out to a little Italian restaurant for dinner where Ben was wanting to have Spaghetti Bolognese and call Mina at the same time. He ended up having Spaghetti and Meatballs and didnt call Mina cos it was 3am!
Venice was one place i was really looking forward to and was a little disappointed. They make it far more attractive in movies and in pictures. It has a very dirty smell to it which im sure you get use to over time. Aparently it gets worse in the wet season!!!

    Awwww Venice! I'm so jealous! I've always wanted to go with Neil and ride on a gondola down the canal!! Oh and sit in the love seat of course.
    What a pity that it doesn't look as good as it does in movies (and in the Bold and the Beautiful) :(
    I still want to go though.... just so I can say I've been! So what was the food like? Have we stuffed up Italian food royally or what? hehehe
