Venice

Ciao

Its been a busy month since we last updated the blog

First we went to Venice for a weekend – it was a pretty big drive, but was lots of fun. We did the tour and walked through all the little streets, had a ride on a motor boat up the main canal and even managed a gondola ride under the rialto bridge.

But the coolest thing was feeding the pigeons in St Marcs square. All we had was 1/2 a pack of pretzels but the pigeons loved them and landed on our heads and hands.

Venice is funny – there are no roads, just footpaths and canals. The locals have a boat instead of a car and the taxis are motor boats. All the buildings are really old and a lot of them get flooded when there is a really high tide. Our tour guide said that some parts of Venice get flooded every month
