8th January, Leaving Venice tonight

Only in Italy.. An ad for Irritable Bowel syndrome?

Today on the Gondolier

Mark in San Marco Piazza

snow this morning, a real flurry

Nope, this wasnt our Man.. Mark chose the old guy

Idle Gondelers... only 100 of the 450 with licences are being used due to the downturn

Us.. Yes, almost Blue Sky!!

Mark on the Gondoler

Hannah and I, with Diego, the old gondelier in the back ground.. Not the Young Armadeus character in a previous pic, no, no, this one called me Mama

Font door of our B&B

The kids had a lazy morning.We woke up to snow falling/blowing outside,, We had breakfast with Elanora, downstairs, then headed off to San Marco to find this Backpack Handbag we had found once...leaving the kids behind on MSN to get a hit before we leave.. Not sure if we can get a connection in Sorrento at the place we are staying, so need to sort that out when we get there

So, off looking for one tiny shop, with a woman who could be Carla Cashions twin...And we found it, they had the bag that we liked, bought it for a good good price, and then went searching for the ring shop from last night

Finally found it, but it wasnt that nice after all.

Then back to get the kids, with some donuts for morning tea, and headed off to get a Gondolier ride.. That was great, cod, but really lovely..

then we walked, and walked had lunch, walked and walked, listened to some concert music, peaked into some churches, and walked and walked, , finally getting back here at 5pm.. Now, we wait till 10pm, to catch the Vaparetto boat to the train station, then off we go south, hopefully a warmer time
