Vampires in Venice?

Two days in Venice have been lovely, despite kids' initial concerns there may be vampires (thanks Dr Who!). We've seen water ambulances, dogs perched on the front of vaporettas, garbage boats and of course all the pretty boats you associate with Venice as well...it is such a beautiful place - all soft pinks, yellows and browns.


Ridiculously expensive too - I almost fainted after sitting down to fulfill one of my travel fantasies (coffee in Piazza San Marco) only to find it was going to cost 9 euros (about $15!)! Things are expensive but there are some beautiful things to in the shop windows here....


Some funky Murano glass art...


This is one of many 'miniature' still life sculptures we saw - amazing. Yesterday we walked for hours through winding streets, over bridges, through bustling piazzas and past spectacular historical buildings.


Breakfast, lunch and dinner is generally pizza (very yummy here) with some Prosecco in the evening (for us) and gelato for the kids. Time to move on today - wallet will breathe a sigh of relief! Heading for our week long stay in house in Perugia with Nikki and Brett - can't wait!
