      Ciccetti and Canals

      7 Nisan, İtalya ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C

      Walked and walked Venice in the mist and in the baking sun 🌞
      Wonderful sights around every corner... lots of dead ends, but that's what makes it fun.
      Lovely venetian snacks (ciccetti) and so relaxing (out of the main drag)Okumaya devam et

      Venice

      26 Nisan, İtalya ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C

      We were absolutely blessed with such an amazing day in Venice. The weather was perfect and although it was busy, visiting during an off season meant it wasn’t very polluted and we weren’t too cramped for space. We had a wonderful morning walking through the endless alleys and eating incredible food as we went. At 5pm we had a scheduled gondola ride which although was only 15 mins we had a blast getting the boats that passed us to join in with our “Aussie Aussie Aussie, oi, oi, oi” chanting. Half the people didn’t speak English but we had a good giggle at interacting with everyone as we went through the canals 🤪Okumaya devam et

      Amr’s birthday in Venice

      30 Eylül 2022, İtalya ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

      Another lovely day! Had breakfast at our little place right under us…a fabulous eatery, and very popular…in the morning there is an array of pastries, and yogurt, fruit, granola, and by lunchtime it has transformed to pizza, bruschetta, focaccia, panini - all fresh and very appealing. And wonderful coffee, fresh juice (and wine, beer and the eternal Aperol!)…so we are well placed for food. Then we set off walking - this time over the Rialto and into the markets there (saw the baby calamari that I would love to buy in Oz)…then on to the station via the different route..all very lovely along the endless streets, canals, bridges and campos. I totally depend on Amr as a guide…totally lose my sense of direction in these streets..now learning some of the landmarks on the route to S Marco…!

      The high tide came up again and the walking boards came up in the piazza S Marco…it was receding by the time we got there and we sat on the dry side and had a drink watching the scene till our allotted time to visit the basilica. With great agony Amr had managed to book tickets online as we knew it reduced queuing time to get in, and we had watched the chaos of people trying to enter….so we went early thinking we’d have wait a bit, but to our delight we had immediate access, and were blown away yet again by the magnificence of the building, the gold mosaics just everywhere - quite dazzling. We even paid extra to see the Pala d’Oro which is an elaborate slab of gold and jewels, with enamel pictures…impossible to describe…created as an altar cover (instead of cloth)…altogether a beautiful visit.

      We are starting to understand the weather…it is fine in the morning, and in the afternoon it clouds over, and today it did rain - needed umbrellas - and was more than passing clouds! But never pouring rain. Amr has just told me that tomorrow and Sunday will be fine in Venice! We’ll see.

      Tonight we go to the concert in La Fenice, and we think we’ll have a little late dinner after. Tomorrow we plan to take a train to Vicenza, to have a look round there, and maybe stop off at Padua on the way back. It will be a bit of a break to walk along normal streets for a change - much as we love the alleys of Venice!

      Now back from our evening…the concert was lovely..it was a Belgian sextet (the Phoenix Sextet) playing Wagner, Brahms and Schoenberg…not in the big opera theatre but in a smaller room suitable for chamber music…I think there are 3 halls - the opera hall, the concert hall and the chamber hall…we think we’ll do a tour if we can fit in to see it all. The renovation since the fire is beautiful…very light - white ceilings, peach coloured walls and trim, chandeliers.

      The concert finished soon after 9.30, and I hoped there would still be restaurants willing to feed us…but no problem - a small place just round the corner from the hotel was open (and a few more came after us)…we had a delicious meal - Amr had a veg pasta, I had gnocchi, and we had grilled vegetables…perfect. A good birthday I think!

      Soggy books

      22 Ekim 2023, İtalya ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

      This morning began with a cappuccino and some pastries before we got lost in the narrow streets of Venice.

      There was a marathon underway which congested much of the busy areas including St. Mark's Square and most of the main walkways, but we had fun walking beside the barriers for almost an hour watching the world go by.

      We ended up at a very cool bookshop where we had the chance to sit in a Gondala - this was nice because we decided against doing a Gondala tour as it was going to be 150/200aud and we'd have to share with 3 other people.

      After a while we headed back to the accommodation and undertook some more booking for future travels, trying to keep minimum 2 weeks ahead.

      We went for another afternoon walk, this time towards the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute and we made our way back following the 'coast'

      Dinner was another serving of pasta, which I'm a fan of, before an early night.

      Step count: 23.2k

      PS. Didn't mention it yesterday but this hostel sucks, and seems to mainly be populated by mosquitoes

      Venice sure has a lot of old churches

      6 Ekim 2023, İtalya ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

      European history is inseparable from religion, and Venice has this connection on full display. There are 137 churches in Venice - they are everywhere. All but 3 or 4 are Roman Catholic (there’s one synagogue and 2 or 3 Protestant churches). Many of the church buildings no longer function as churches but are museums or other public spaces. The first 4 photos show the crazily ornate structure of St. Mark’s Basilica. The original building was constructed in the 830s, while the current one began in the year 1063, but had been modified numerous times over the centuries.
      Photos 9 - 12 are of Santa Maria della Salute, built in response to a devastating plague that killed one third of Venice’s population in 1630 and ‘31. The church was not to be dedicated to a mere "plague" or patron saint, but to the Virgin Mary, who for many reasons was thought to be a protector of the Republic. Decreed to be built in 1630, it was not completed until 1681. The wooden door must be at least 30 feet tall. I found it curious that the skin color of Mary and Jesus is quite dark in the painting - looking very different than depictions found in the US. I wonder how many US Christians would feel about that.

      Last day in Venice!

      20 Ocak, İtalya ⋅ ☀️ 3 °C

      Ahhh today the weather was nicer! We spent most of the day just walking around the parts of Venice we didn’t really see much. We visited the San Marco Square which had a bunch of cool restaurants and shops, and this is where I had some spaghetti and clams! (Side thought - it is surprisingly rare to see spaghetti bolognaise anywhere in Italy but spaghetti with clams are EVERYWHERE) after a bit more walking and shopping it was time to go to Vivaldi’s church to see the famous 4 Seasons! Wowee that was special. I’ve never experienced something like that, where the venue felt so important, and the audience felt so moved. Might just have to ditch jazz. After that, we got some last minute snacks at the supermarket and headed home. ZzzzzOkumaya devam et

      Venezia

      6 Haziran, İtalya ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

      Wenn wir in der Marina di Venezia (unser Campingplatz) zu Gast sind, dann gehört es natürlich zum Pflichtprogramm nach Venedig zu fahren. Ursprünglich hatten Martin und ich Venedig gar nicht bei unserer Reiserouten in Betracht gezogen, da wir beide in der 11. Klasse zur Kursfahrt in Venedig waren. (Offensichtlich fährt oder fuhr das Groitzscher Gymnasium auch gerne nach Italien) Jedenfalls hatten wir beide keine guten Erinnerungen und fanden damals Venedig eher dreckig und überhaupt nicht schön. Ich kann mich noch erinnern, wie wir im dreckigen McDonald gegessen haben, alles voller Tauben am Markusplatz war, sich ein paar Mädels gefälschte Gucci Taschen und ein paar Jungs Hitler Tassen (das es sowas überhaupt gibt ist ja schon eine Schande) gekauft haben. Aber jetzt bin ich total froh, dass wir noch einmal nach Venedig gefahren sind. Es war wirklich richtig schön. Die ganzen kleinen, engen Gassen, wunderschöne und prachtvolle Bauten mit so viel Verliebtheit fürs Detail - wirklich eindrucksvoll. Wahrscheinlich hat man 17 Jahre später auch einen anderen Blick für so etwas. Zum Glück für die Kinder, aber Pech für die Eltern, hatten wir genügend Trage- und Mitfahrgelegenheiten dabei. Die beiden großen Kinder haben es sich im 2er Anhänger gemütlich gemacht und Anna war größtenteils in der Kraxe. Nur leider mussten wir den Anhänger unzählige Male über Brücken tragen, dabei wurden aber die Kinder rausgeschmissen 😊
      Für das Gemüt der Kinder gab es auch noch Eis, Pizza und für die beiden Großen eine Katzenmaske. Gehört ja auch dazu, sich in Venedig eine Maske zu kaufen. Es war wirklich ein rundum schöner Tag.
      Abends gab es auf dem Campingplatz noch ein Showprogramm mit Musik und Tänzen und anschließend für die Kinder und Erwachsenen noch eine „Jugenddisco“, bei der Johann und Clara natürlich mitmachen mussten… wobei Johann eher fasziniert von den Anderen und der LED Leinwand war 😃

      A night in Venice

      9 Ekim 2019, İtalya ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

      A stroll around Venice in the evening is a beautiful experience. Moving constantly from dark to light and narrow street to open squares. And the music makes it even better. Talking to your soul from around every corner.Okumaya devam et

      Venedig - Tag 1

      22 Ağustos 2022, İtalya ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

      In Venedig angekommen haben wir uns zunächst den Dogenpalast angeschaut. Danach sind wir über den Piazza San Marco geschlendert und haben uns die Leute angeschaut, die sich nichts ahnend in eines der Restaurants gesetzt haben, um dann voller Überraschung am Ende einen Musikzuschlag bezahlen mussten (in jedem Restaurant spielt draußen eine eigene Band). Vor allem am Abend ist Venedig mit seinen Wasserstraßen super schön.Okumaya devam et

      Delays to Destination…

      13 Haziran 2022, İtalya ⋅ ☀️ 81 °F

      Today’s travel experience was expected and unexpected. We’d expected to experience travel glitches during our journey, we just hadn’t expected to experience so many on a single day🙃. First delay - train from Wimbledon delayed due to “emergency works”. No problem -we reroute and make the hour long trip to Heathrow. Second delay-huge line at Swiss Air. While waiting I receive a text update that the flight is delayed 15 minutes. Not a big delay but we now have only 30 minutes to make our connection in Zurich. We make the Zurich flight but an additional delay is announced as we wait on the plane ✈️. Kai naps on flight. I work. Our seats are the very last seats on the plane. We are thus the very last people off the plane. Third delay- another line at immigration but the first miracle occurs-our connecting flight to Venice is delayed. The single clerk at immigration is processing a mass of time stressed travelers. The tension in the line of waiting passengers is acute. We all have flights leaving in minutes. Kai and I let 2-3 especially desperate travelers ahead of us thinking we have extra time due to the announced delay. We clear customs and hope to find food but it turns out- the flight is holding for us (I had the time wrong). We run to board the flight🎉. Thank you Swiss Air for waiting for us. Delay four- we made our flight but our bags have not. The line for baggage assistance is long, again there is a single clerk. (Dante missed a particularly tortuous level of hell- waiting in interminably long lines with little hope of progress.) We make our report and board the waterbus for Venice. It’s a beautiful and delightful 1.25hr boat ride. We enjoy watching the sunset 🌅 and the moonrise🌕 over Venice. We disembark at San Marco- our room is 10 minutes walk away. Delay five- we can’t find our hotel. We can get within 1 minute of it using google maps but can’t find it. Everywhere we look are befuddled travelers with phones set to google maps trying to navigate Venic’s labyrinth of cobblestone alleys and passage ways. Miracle 2 is that our bags were lost. We are tired after dragging our small carry-on bags up, down, over, and across the many, many small canals and waterways of Venice. We would not have survived with our suitcases. It’s now very dark and late. We have gelato (miracle 3) for dinner and to refuel before contuing our hotel search. An older Venetian couple stops to help us. Essentially- they don’t know where the hotel is either and tell us us “it’s impossible to find your way around Venice” and that we should call for the hotel for rescue. Perhaps - Global Gaurdian should add Venice Navigation to their package of services… It’s 11:30 when we find our hotel. Our room is on the 3rd floor. There is no elevator🥺.Okumaya devam et
