Venezia Day 2

Andrew – Well the shoppers have gone out on an excursion today and left me with my book in the hotel and a view to die for. There is something amazingly romantic about sitting and watching the people of Venice stroll by. Not to mention the thousands of tourists wandering around with map and guidebook under their arms.

The hotel www.casagredohotel.com is beautiful and set right on the water, so campers you can understand the appeal of sitting and people watching even for just a few hours. People watching – my favourite pastime.

The shoppers have been quite reserved at this point which could possibly lead to a major blowout at some point soon.

The Shoppers preparing themselves for a spree

The Limoncello is flowing freely and the weather is fabulous, not to rub it in for those of you at home who I understand are having a bit of a cold snap. So as you can see campers, life really is grand. Ciao xx


P.S - The spree has begun... Prada & Bally & Gucci.... Oh my!


Lucy - Oh My God!!! Is what you mean, Doesn't matter It's only money (Sawusband don't worry it wasn't me).
So I still haven't grasped the Italian language very well, @ breakfast I was asked if I wanted another coffee to which I replied Si, No, Grazie which means, Yes followed by No!! then thanks, not very helpful....

Gusband & I have been tripping around while Andrew recharges his batteries. We have been to Burano followed by Murano to see some famous Murano glass.

Gusband & I had some time to spare while waiting for a Ferry so we decided to check out this store... turns out it was a funeral home...Opps, but they had some nice coffins.

After our shopping spree we relaxed with a Vodka in the restaurant bar. Not a bad view of the main canal if I do say so myself.

Next went out for dinner to the oldest Restaurant in Venice
