Hi everyone from Venice.

In addition to Mrs Vanags birthday, yesterday was a day of adventure. Our trip from Florence to Venice had a few ups and downs but we all made it safe and sound. The Hotel is the best we have stayed at so far and dinner last night was fantastic. Today we have begun our visit to Venice with first stop St Marks square. We have also taken to the water as seen in the photos above. Internet access has not been easy to find in Venice, hence this brief post. Tomorrow a long trip to Paris. We will post the next blog when we arrive there. Bye for now.
