Having spent all day at the pool I thought I'd do a quick blog from my lovely hotel in Venice. Not willing to send full photo of me by pool but you'll recognise my toenails in the photo!!
The weather is very very lovely - clear blue skies and lots of sunshine. In truth it's not really sight-seeing weather but we've done quite a lot visiting St Marks square, the Jewish qtr, Murano & Burano (Venetian islands renowned for glass & lace respectively - you can imagine what a fabulous time the boys had there!!). Last night we did a trip to here The Barber of Seville performed in a beautiful Venetian house overlooking the canal - opera isn't really my thing but it was a lovely evening & the complimentary Prosecco was lovely too :-)
And then there's the food.........
Hotel breakfast is a lovely buffet with lots of fresh fruit (watermelon, ogen melon, plums, peaches etc), scrambled eggs, grilled toms, ff yoghurt &, before you think this blog is being written by a hacker!, fabulous croissants, cheeses & cakes. Have to say that cake (yes cake - jam tart, donuts, sable biscuits, almond cake etc) is an acquired taste & not one I'm indulging but it does all look very inviting :-)
Lunches have been various salads - our lunches have been small because of the heat & the big breakfast.
Dinners have varied but have been lovely with lots of fresh fish, veggies, pasta etc - and actually I had dessert only once a fabulous tiramisu (when in Venice....)
I'm not a huge ice cream eater so haven't had even one yet although the boys have and I have been tempted but actually not enough to have one :-)
Tomorrow is our last full day in Venice & then we join the cruise on Saturday - will let you know how I get on.
Love to all
