Day 1: Wow Venice is amazing!!! We flew in to Venice airport about 1pm today from Frankfurt. The site of the city from the plane as we flew in was incredible. It gave me the feeling that it was a minuture old world city created for a movie. We walked straight out of the airport no customs no checks and walked down to the pier and caught a ferry to the city. It is about 28 degrees and there are so many people here in fact I have never seen a place as busy as Venice. Dillon wants to live here when she is older and judging from the comments and whistles plenty of Italien men think Taylor is cute. We have a lovely two story apartment near the centre of town. It is very big much bigger than I expected. The kids love the Bidet but I have not tried it myself yet!! We spent the afternoon wandering around and got lost a few times. We walked over the famous Rialto Bridge and while Trudi and Taylor went window shopping Dillon and I had a pleasant time sitting on the bank of one of the canals with our hot tired feet in the water. It was great spending that time with her talking and laughing and trying to take it all in.
Tonight we will go out for Dinner and tomorrow we will try a Gondola ride. Trudi wants to get up early, like sunrise and take arty pics of the kids in ST Marco’s Square, I can’t wait to see the results.
Day 2: This morning Trudi and I got up early to take pictures while the kids slept. I think they are starting to feel the effects of the travelling. What a difference from yesterday, the streets were so much less crowded and it was easier to get around. The light in the morning was unbelievable. Trudi took some great shots and it was lovely to see her so excited. We had our first authentic Italian café latte this morning, we visited a place that the locals go to ( Bar Verde) and oh my god, what a fantastic coffee. We also had these amazing chocolate canelloli. I am starting to think I will be quite a bit larger when I get back.
