Joanne was going to typing this one, but she crashed about 3 hours ago, so i thought i would type something ... also sorry sis but your not on security watch tonight, as i have made heaps of noise, left the room and came back again and you have not moved ... he he.
We had a 12.5 hour flight from Hong Kong to Munich and then transferred to Venice, so got here about 9am after a short bus ride from the Airport to Venice island.
There are heaps of tourist around here and it most probably does not help that there are 2 or 3 large Cruise ships in town at the same time.
We grabbed a boat taxis (like a subway system, but just on a boat on the water) and we got to see around the outskirts of Venice's island.
It was interesting to see in the famous San Marco Square (you know where all the pigeons hang out for a free feed) will when I was here last - about 5 or so years ago we did not see any water coming up through the tiles and yet today right outside one of the most famous building water was coming through the cobblestones at the front of the entrance and i noticed different canals we walked over the water level has risen and a lot of the buildings are sitting well down in the water line, at least 20 to 30 cm's.
I am currently unable to upload any of Joanne's awesome photos as the interweb is not letting me do this due to technical problems, sorry folks.
Our feet are sore from our walk about and long flight, so we had a lovely meals near our hostel, had some lovely Italian kai ... but i ate too much - he he he.
I went for a walk tonight by myself to get some water, it was just lovely, less people around and the temperature was nice.
We have out train tickets sort for Florence and the Naples for later in the week.
I better go and get some sleep myself
Ciao from Winnie 2 (Shazza)
