Just a beautiful place!!
I was warned that the smaller canals smell like shit but I haven't really found myself holding my breath and then gasping for clean non stinking air.
We've had great weather here although the last couple of days have been really very hot. We've spent a couple of days at the Lido tanning ourselves, enjoyed cooking dinner and making breakfast everyday (especially for the soft boiled eggs, mmmm), and we've also really enjoyed the lack of cars on the island!
We ventured out into the Venetian night on Saturday and headed to L'accademia area which is near to the university. A massive change in clientele was noticed as soon as we crossed the big bridge. No more couples having embarrassingly cheesy romantic meals together! Students, young people and cheap drinks! We sat down at a bar and after having only got through half a glass of wine we were..how can I put this nicely..we were imposed upon by an Australian who was so blonde it scared me, and who had a face so red you wouldn't give him a second look if you saw him in a lobster tank at a restaurant. Anyway, we decided we might as well temporarily befriend him and his Aussie mates who turned out to be going to the same club as us (smallest room in the world, called Piccolo Mondo - only club on Venice island), a coincidence some would say but I think it was more down to the fact that it was the only option.
So we went onto this club, kind of hung out with our new red faced friends, danced a little and then decided to bail and find a place open selling pizza rolls. Verdict: Pizza rolls are man's best invention.
Today we're leaving Venezia after four wonderful days staying with Julia and Claud. We're taking a 13 hour train tonight straight to Budapest, where we'll be leaving the EUR and the good food (we assume) behind. Can't say for sure when or if I'll have internet access but hopefully it won't be a long wait until the next update.
Here's to the final week of our trip!!
