I mean i'm sure on an average day its beautiful but it was made all the more beautiful by the fact that by some freak chance it was sunny!!!! ok........enough words..........
Don't be surprised if u see a load more photos of doors and windows during my posts (and i say posts becoz i think i'm gonna have to write a few) of Venice, I was fascinated by them for some reason.
We were hungry when we arrived so we stopped to eat lunch and drink wine by the water.......did some drawing too!
Fed and watered we went in search of our hostel which we were able to locate by boat. It just so happened to be across the water from Piazza San Marco (or St. Marks Square for all u English folk) so we went for a little wonder after
This is a church so obviously out of respect for religion (and what with Italy being big on religion) we were asked to relinquish our cameras at the door. The following should give u an idea of how much respect i have for religion..........and also for rules..........
Honestly, how could i not have taken photos inside here!! look at it!!!!
Anyway..............determined to cram as much into the day as possible we went in search of an exhibition.........but..........we got distracted...........
I did warn u about the doors and windows!!
Unsurprisingly, by the time we finally found the gallery it was closed! Not only that but it wasn't showing the exhibition we wanted to see either. This, under ordinary circumstances would have been a problem but.......we're in Venice people lets have coffee!!!
Coffee quickly turned in to dinner (followed by coffee) and was very enjoyable.......apart from a minor face raping incident but thats a story for another time.........
After dinner we decided to make our way to our.......ahem......accommodation.............on the way we passed Piazza San Marco again and took some spooky photos
The view from the hostel was nice.......but the room left a lot to be desired. I sort of felt like a cast member of 'Little Orphan Annie' bundled into a room with 15 other women in bunk beds. Not to worry though coz........say it with me........we're in VENICE!!!!
