  • It might be the only one ever, but I got lost in Venice. Really lost...

    It was no problem at all to find the Piazza San Marco, since there were signs all over town.
    But when I should get back to the trainstation... I thought it would be just to follow the same signs, but the problem is that these signs are everywhere, not just at the street that leads to the trainstation.

    The first mistake I did was to go to Venice without a map. The second one was to not buy a map when I was at Piazza San Marco.

    I was lucky enough to find a boatstation with big boats that are going around in the biggers canales, among them the one that leads to the trainstation. Lucky for me, otherwise I would still be trying to find my way out of the labyrint...

  • I had no problem with those lovely (well...) birds, but I think others might have. At the Piazza San Marco they are everywhere, since a lot of tourist gives them food.
    The next problem is that the food has to come out sometimes too, and for the birds it's not so important how or where, as long as it hit someone...

    Watch out for the *** from the sky that is... :-)

    There might also be a problem when they fly away, all of them at the same time. But since they aren't blind I suppose the best thing to do is to just stay still. They don't want to hit you more than you want to hit them.

     "Venice is full of gondols, so full that you might think that the competition for customers would cut the prices down" That's hilarious, Mr. Ibsen! :D Still researching Venice!!!!

     Beautiful photos. Just doing my Venice page now. I know I got lost here too, but I'm thinking you may need a personal GPS (navigation system) ;) it seems to be a habit with you :) (You know I like to tease)
