A day in the Venetian Islands
... We had one of the nicest Italian meals we have ever had - ink squid, followed by chocolate mousse. It was black pasta, containing fried squid and the ink that squids squirt out to protect themselves, which doesn't sound all that appetising in print, but it was delicious. The ink added a flavour all of its own. It's very hard to describe the flavour but it really was lovely, although a little disconcerting to see one's partner with a black mouth! ...

After breakfast we decided to wander over to San Lucia Train Station to sort out our train tickets for ...
Gondola and serenades
... damage where others looked in good shape with their washing hanging from their windows and the big flower planters bright with flowers. The driver then handed over the reins to his son which was so cute, they then started singing. It was seriously the sweetest thing. Could it get anymore surreal?! As we approached corners of the canal they would yell out to warn other boats that we were approaching. As we passed other gondolas they would ...
