bonjourno from venizia
apologies about the last post, i realised when i was half way through that we had about 30 seconds left of time so had to abruptly end the post.
After helsinki and a mad rush to catch our next flight, we stayed in milan for a day, not a great city, and felt quite unsafe, people everywhere trying to get money anyway they can. I actually yelled at some guy for trying to help us with our bags, it was a little out of control.
due to huge amount of luggage we are carrying around with us, we were almost charged $400 in excess luggage but manged to argue our way out of it, thanks to joe for the travel tips on how to avoid extra payment.

milan to venice is a very short 30 minute flight, so after a quick cup of water we were here. its such a beautiful city and you could walk for days around here without going through the same streets. we visited murano yesterday which is the glass making island, very beautiful and expensive!!!!
we nearly bought a vase for 630 australian dollars, but we managed to talk ourselves out of it and bought jewellery and cufflinks instead! we have manged to eat quite cheaply here, just pizza and hamburgers (without the bun....wierd i know!).
our hotel is beautiful, great for the price we paid, breakfast is served in a little courtyard and is all included. our rooms looks onto one of the many alley ways and is very authentic.
jasons brothers and sisters arrive today and we will all have dinner together in venice tonight...yay! tommororw we get the boat and spend another night in venice on the boat before started our voyage to croatia and onwards.
must be off, gelato awaits......and more pizza....and wine.....and beer
