We remembered our big coats (well, Sophie needed a bit of <br /> persuading to wear hers!).<br /> We got to Venice for 8:20am and managed to get a look at most of the <br />sites and some of the shops before the floods appeared in St Marks <br />square and the duck boards came out for people to walk on. It was a bit <br />like a human version of Lemmings, watching them walk down duck boards <br />put out by locals to get deliveries only to find they had to come back <br />because it was a dead end! Most of the designer shops were away from the <br />floods, however, although we were a bit disappointed that we couldn't <br />get a Gondola. Well we could, but the rain started and we didn't think <br />it would be as romantic as it looked on the telly!<br /> It was refreshing after coming through some more 'tourist' cities in <br />France to find a place which had lots of interesting shops which local <br />crafts rather then the 'tourist tat' like plastic fridge magnets and <br />etc. There were some fantastic stationary shops selling hand made <br />leather bound address books etc. We also picked up an Italian-English <br />phrase book and dictionary in a shop - something which we forgot to <br />bring with us!<br /> However, all is not lost, we had a good few hours in Venice and are now <br />parked at La Sabbiona farm (website here: <br /><a href="http://www.lasabbiona.it/index.asp?l=2">http://www.lasabbiona.it/index.asp?l=2</a> ) where no doubt we will end up <br />sampling more wine/olives/local produce in the morning before moving on. <br />I just hope the weather gets a bit better - it's warm, just too bloody wet!
