Venice in the rain

When we left our cell.....i mean room in the morning we were greeted by an entirely different Venice.

Luckily our failure to see the exhibition the day before meant that we had somewhere to go out of the rain. Don't get me wrong, all this water is amazing for like a half hour but after that u just wanna get the hell inside!!

As i said before, the exhibition we had planned to see was no longer showing (the Swiss had stolen it) so we went instead to see Tony Cragg who, from what i can tell makes sculptures that look like poo.

There were two other exhibits accompanying Tony, one was an oriental exhibition and the other was modern art. Deciding we'd seen enough oriental art for the time being we went to the modern art exhibition. In actual fact the art wasn't so modern. Sadly though this image is all the evidence i have of the second exhibition coz the photography police were working extra hard on this one!

It was still raining when we left the exhibition (with Zeffira's friends in tow.......probably should have mentioned we met up with them just before) so we went to another exhibition! 

Luckily the staff at this exhibition weren't such photo Nazis

The rain continued after this so we went in search of a more inside entertainment and we found it in the form of a restaurant!

Thankfully the rain had stopped by the time we were done with coffee so we had one last wonder around before we left!












hmm.......while trying to upload more photos i've been informed that i have to purchase more storage space.......curious.............this calls for further investigation. Stay tuned for the continuation of my Venice adventure..........

Venice!!

Sooooooooooo..........theres not all that much i can say about Venice other than OMG omg, its AMAZING!!!!!
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!!!!
