Magical Venice!

Hi all

Today we left Austria and travelled to our 8th country - Italy! What magic. We stopped in Verona, the city of Romeo and Juliet. I saw the famous balcony. There was a statue of Juliet. For good luck, women were supposed to touch her right wrist and men - her right breast! There was a market in the square where fresh fruit and veges were sold. I had a nice pizza bread for lunch. And to think that I never eat that at home! We then travelled for another hour and a half and arrived in Venice. My word, it is like in the movies. We went on a canal cruise on a gondola. It was so romantic. Venice is incredible. The buildings came right up to the water. We then had a drink at a cafe and a band played for us in St Marks Square. We will have more time to have a look inside the church tomorrow. We are having lunch at a fishermans island tomorrow. More updates then as internet is free in this hotel too. This hotel is by far the best we've been to.

Hope everyone is well and looking after each other.

Love
Mummy
