Venice





Saturday we travelled on the Casanova Train from Ljubljana to Venice. Did all the usual things in Venice.. nearly froze on the Grand Canal at night, but spectacular views! Also climbed to the top of San Marco to see the views... something that was to become an almost daily occurrence.... climbing something that is...Did we mention the cold before? Before we left I checked the weather forecasts for this part of the world and they generally showed highs of around 14 and lows of about 6, so not too bad, and really, good weather for sightseeing. However forgot about the fact that night happens at about 4.30 pm in this part of the world at this time of year, and a large cold front swept in and settled over Europe just after we got there! Arrrggghhh! Not good for Aussies!!!!
