    • There are all types of musicians in the world, and when you travel from town to city to town you will invariably see all sorts of talented people playing an array of instruments.

    In Venice, it was the first time that I had seen this particular type of muso - the 'incredible glass playing man'.

    Has anyone else stumbled across this talented individual, or perhaps someone else out there shares this love for the music emitted from a bit of glass rubbing!?

    Contact me if you can shed some light on this rarely seen and rarely heard musical delight

    • So when you live in a city built on islands you don't drive a car, you drive a boat, right. And when you come home in your boat, where do you park it....why, in the garage of course!

    Take a look at this photo - it is a boat garage that I came across whilst wandering around Venice one day.

    I guess the straps are lowered, the boat glides in and then it is raised up out of the water - ingenious!

    Anyone know more about it? Let me know.

    • I love the Italians and their way of life - they have the right idea. Fabulous sense of style, love their food and wine, the best coffee in Europe.

    And their pets even get to travel in style! Look at this little fellow that I shared the train with on my way from Venice to Verona.

    I snuck this picture when his owner popped to the bathroom.

    Woof!
