Monday: We didn't wake up til mid-day so we missed the breakfast. We headed to the grand canal and had pizzas for lunch, I had a seafood one and my gf had a pepperoni, they were super nice. we didnt actually do much that day, just exploring the town and went on one of those gondola ride which was nice but slight ripoff- 60 euros for 20mins (almost as expensive as poker coaching lol)



didn't do much after the boat ride, just more walking around and an very average dinner where i spaghetti with clams and gf had lasagna. After dinner we went bk to hotel and chilled. I logged on to skype to see if
Tuesday: We managed to get up for breakfast (the only one time) which was pretty nice, we stayed in the hotel and read some books til 1pm. We then went out for lunch where i had this really sick spaghetti with cuttlefish, it looks like shit but taste fucking amazing!!

We went to St Macro square after lunch, visited the museum in the cathedral, the cathedral was pretty cool, its quite amazining how ppl built shit like these without the machineary we use today.





Dinner that night was really good, we went to this little restaurant near the hotel. I dont know if it is the Italitan culture or just in Venice, but people have two main courses each for dinner, first course which is usally pasta and second course is usually meat or fish. I really liked having two main courses giving me excuses to try all sort of food without looking like a pig, but it was kinda expesnsive, well compared to UK at least. Theres literally nothing to do past 9pm in Venice, so we just went back to the hotel after dinner
Wednesday: We had more pizzas for lunch lol, and then we took a boat trip to 3 different islands near by. We went to the glass factory first, they had this guy demonstarting which was pretty cool, he made a vase and a horse in like 5 mins, was really impressive. The next two island was kinda really nice, not a lot to do there, so just had a few drinks sit on the grass and chilled. The boat trip finsihed at about 6pm, and thats it for the day really


Friday: pretty much had to go to airport soon we got up, luckily the manchester airport was reopened so didnt have to go to newcastle and get the bus.
Overall, not the most exciting trip, pretty much just walk, read, eat and sleep, but i still really enjoyed it and wd def go bk one day.
Cool! I'm supposed to be going prior to Vegas actually. You seem more into your food than me though, I'll be scouring for some Veggie options.....
