Bronte at the Rialto Bridge
In Burano very colourful
In a Venetian canal on a Venetian bridgeWell we arrived in Venice and booked into a dodgy motel that some guy at the train station talked us into. It actually turned out to be really quite alright and as cheap as the YHA.
Venice is really amazing and unique and has to be one of the better places that we have been to so far. It is just so different to any other place in Europe. It is hard to believe that you can live without cars and have all the deliveries brought to shops on boats and sack trucks. KFC delivery drivers would hate it.
The first day in Venice we went to Murano and saw all the glass stuff being made and every shop sold glass and they all became the same after a while. We then got the boat to Burano (thanks Nicole). All the houses in Burano are painted really bright colours and it is just a really nice little place. Burano is known for it's beautiful lace work.
The second day we spent just walking the streets of Venice trying to get lost. That was easily done. We went to San Marco square and climbed the clock tower via elevator. The view over all of Venice was beautiful and you could see for quite a long way.
We have since left Venice (today) and have just arrived in Lucern Switzerland. Are planning on seeing snow tomorrow. Bronte has not seen snow yet and is a little excited.

Wow... it really looks like you guys are having an awesome time, don't worry about doingt he whole tourist thing everyone does it i'm sure it doesn't look to weird for the locals anymore, when i was in paris i tried to get a photo of me eating the eiffel tower so... i did it too... Hey bronte, whats with the eyebrow ring??? thats a bit new, bit flashy, looks cool, very eyebrowish of you!?? Venice looks amazing, i seriously can't imagine not having a car and having to catch a boat to work every day, atleast you woudln't get highjacked and robbed and stuff like that cuz everyone can see you and it would take a while to make a getaway i guess. your photos look really awesome, the colours and the atmosphere of each place really just come out in all the shots, its not just specific things you could take photos of, to still pick up on the beauty of the place you can just pick up on it from everything, they all look really spectacular. Beard still looks cute bronte. You look like a bit of a bad boy! well, we're al counting down the days ar work till your back, its about 20 now isn't it, or something like that.Hey guess what Bronte... shannon quit!!! YAY! although he has about 20 times so, we don't know but its a great thing to say over and over again, its almost like its true... i dont know yet if i got the Assistant position,we might have Zoe instead, darren doesn't think i got it even though daryl told him i was by far the best applicant and interviewee, he said he was kicking himself he didnt let me apply back last year cuz i would have got it then apparently...! anywho, keep on keeping on with your good times, great photos, funny beards, mysterious piercings and all the excitment that comes with traveling, hope you guys aren't getting to tired from all the running around and busses, trains, planes, boats etc etc, its all about fun!!!

Hello Richard and Bronte,
Suzanne just told me how to write to you when I went on your Blog. It looks as though you are having a great time. Your photos are very good and you should have may happy memories of your trip. Hope Bronte got to see snow. If he does it is more than I have seen.
Will write the next time I am on the net.
Love Mum
Hi guys
Not sure if you'll still be in Lucern by the time you read this or if you've moved on already. Hope you got my SMS ok - did you end up buying another pocketknife? (3rd time lucky, eh!)
Ah Venice, that's the place I reckon I loved the most over there. And you know the only reason you got lost so easily was cos I wasn't there!!! (I do believe I was the only one that found the Hostel! :)
So where to from Lucern, eh? I can't remember where you said you were going. Somewhere pretty cool, I'm sure.
Anyway, have fun, enjoy what's left of your holidays.
Love Tracy and Morocco and Cairo.
