We're not lost! All roads lead to St Marcos Square - Venice

Hi All,

No photos this post. Something to do with Italy and viruses? We will try again soon.

Good luck to Dave (Jack) with the interview. Glad all the humans and the animals are well.

Having a lovely time in Venice although very tired. Must have walked 6 hours each day in search of sights. Initial reaction to Venice was not good. We think all of Italy come to this town on weekends. There must have been 1/2 million people here on Saturday. We found the secret though. Get up at 7.00am and get out before any one arrives. Great day Sunday. Went out onto the islands after a walk in San Palo. Very hot and sticky weather but everthing is old and interesting.

Will post again soon from Florence. Hopefully with photos cos we have lots to show..

Stay safe all.. Keep the comments coming, we are keen to hear from home and others.

Lv Julie and Frank

Hi Frank & Julie, Glad to hear that your trip is progressing so well. I had a similar experience in Venice 20 years ago, crowds & smell, looks like nothing has changed. Home news, Telstra remains the same with EOY financials going silly, when can you start back Frank?. Melbourne today was frosty, 5 degrees, and very foggy. Enjoy the heat while you have it !! Cheers, Steve.
