    • Day 9

      A Day for Food

      October 25, 2019 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 64 °F

      We woke up, went to a bacaro for some espresso, saw the locals were pounding down beers and decided we could too! So we ordered some more cicchetti and drank like the locals. I had to go back to the market area though since we had seen a restaurant that server polpi (octopus!!). It was so tender and delicious and that squid ink pasta was to die for - seafood heaven! Afterwards we found the floating library with books stacked everywhere and gondolas holding merchandise.Read more

      Reisepass weg😩😩

      March 19, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

      Da hab ich doch wenige Minuten vor Venedig den Nachtzug zu früh gelobt. Naja gut geschlafen haben wir wohl. Zu gut- so dass wir nachts den ungebetenen Besuch im Abteil nicht gemerkt haben. Die Reisepässe und ein paar hundert Euro sind nun leider weg😭😭.
      Aber sehen wir es positiv: Unsere Geldbeutel, elektronischen Geräte und sogar meine Socken sind noch da. Die venezianische Polizei ist recht freundlich, uns geht's gut - und morgen fahren wir sowieso nach Rom, wo es eine deutsche Botschaft gibt

    • Day 9

      Venedig

      August 1, 2021 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

      Meine absolute Lieblingsstadt. 💕 Da dies bereits mein zweiter Ausflug nach Venedig ist liessen wir dieses Mal einige Hotspots aus. Jedoch fühlt man sich in Venedig ständig ins Mittelalter zurückversetzt. Die Atmosphäre in dieser Stadt ist unglaublich. Ein Highlight war auch unser Hotel mit Blick direkt auf einer der vielen Kanäle (1 Bild). Die Stadt ist nun während Corona auch einiges ruhiger als bei meinem ersten Besuch im Jahr 2016.Read more

      A city of silence

      September 1, 2019 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

      Athena called her dad this morning.

      Angela, theen's mum, always asks to speak to me. She smiles and says she loves me and tells us to be good girls. She asks if I have met anyone. I say no. Too busy.
      (I think her and I share an unsaid language of love and protection. Theen's always tells me I sound just like her actual mother, which I like. Athena says it is because our love is genuine)

      Breakfast was in a different building around the corner from our hotel 'The Paganelli'. We just followed a girl there that looked like she had just woken up.
      I had juice and scrambled eggs. Not up to eating much.

      Julie called me via messager with Dad. They were out picking up a roast to take home for Fathers day. They couldn't get the video working, but I could hear them. I said turn your video camera on. Next minute I had bunny ears and whiskers!!! 😂 Their happy faces came on the screen, also with bunny ears and whiskers. Julie, Dad and I couldn't stop laughing. We looked so silly.
      I wished my Dad a happy Fathers day and we blew kisses. Jules and I chatted about my baby kitten and both teared up. Dad told me I was very lucky to have Julie as my little sister. It was a lovely call.

      On the way back I spied a church. It is so quiet here away from the crowds. I walked in and lit a candle and thanked my little fluffy best friend for all the love he gave to me and said goodbye, I love you 🐾 ♥

      Once back in our room, the church bells rang out for ages, they said to me 'don' t be sad', 'don' t be sad'... 🐾

      Today I intend to sit quietly and sort my case of clothes out, do some washing, read, blog and just be still.

      Athena is off at 10:00 to check out the Venice shops. I told her she'd better come back safely. She said 'of course love'
