The Italian Jaunt

Just a quick blog - I'm in an outrageously expensive net cafe, due to lack of wifi in my hotel room in Venice. Bid farewell to the old man today, as he's flying back to Australia via Gallipoli, so I'll see him when I return in April next year.

At present I'm in Venice, on the first day of 11 in Italy. So far it's been a unique experience for me, visiting an non-english speaking country (America doesn't count). It's a fantastic place though - so much to see, and so little time. For now, I'm going to have an afternoon nap, or siesta, since I flew over on the red eye from Gatwick airport, but later on I'll venture out into the town. No doubt you'll be hearing more on this Italian jaunt.

A big thank you to Glen for all his advice. The part concerning Gypsies was particularly helpful on the walk from the water taxi to the hotel. A well utilised snarl helped get rid of one persistent little shit.

Cheers all.
