Venice

[EvilWeevil]

While the initial reaction to the word Venice might be to think of an Athlon , I am actually talking about the place, where I happen to be at the moment.

I flew in yesterday with a mate, and so far have been madly walking around trying to see as much as possible. I haven't properly attempted the Piazza San Marco yet, as the crowds were just ridiculous, but I might try really early in the morning tomorrow, so that I get daylight but not too many other people.

I've mainly been visiting churches and drinking coffee and eating pizza, and tonight holds in store an (in)famous drink consisting of ice cream, vodka and some local liqueur.

I'm off out for a coffee now - Starbucks eat your heart out!

Never been but really keen to go....I've heard the Piazza San Marco is a nightmare unless you get there just after dawn - which is supposed to be intensely beautiful as the sunlight starts to hit the tops of the surrounding buildings...

Stock up on the ice cream drink and camp out until tomorrow morning....

i was there when i was about 10 or something. Don't really remember a whole lot about it to be honest. Would like to go back and see it again though.
