Early morning wake up and off to the railway station for our journey to Venice.

A very nice apartment in Florence, excellent wifi, central location and comfortable beds.

Venice, tourist Mecca. Recession and a global slow down do not exist here. The place is crammed full of tourists all apparently happy to part with there money for grossly over priced merchandise.

The gondola ride for everyone was an experience that we will all never forget. Whilst paying 1.50 euro each for all us to go to the toilet was unpleasant.
