... to the underground prison. Oh it was aweful.. I just imagined how people stayed there for years untill they died.. Yes, the Middle Ages where cruel...<br>By the way we were late for the airport already and we couldn't get out of that prison quickly))) There was an impression we were really imprisoned lol)<br>And finally we quitted the Doge's Palace, for the last time ran through the San Marco Square and soon were on our way to the airport..

We are traveling today to Siena and won't be able to communicate for awhile so wanted to give a big shout out to our friend John Ruppe. Have a good one bro, we love you!! We also wanted to tell the Heavens above to give Mick's Grandpa Ted a kiss and hug and ask to ...

... lemon veal<br>(VERY modern bathroom). Walked past shops in via 22 Marzo to La Fenice Opera<br>House, Bacino Orseolo with lots of gondolas parked, St Mark's Sq, all the way<br>to Santa Maria Formosa where Guido grew up in Calle del Paradiso (very old).<br>Ice cream in San Lio. Walked to Rialto &amp; took vap to San Marcuola to<br>S&amp;Gs. Rested &amp; ate dinner at Pontini's ...

... off for now to plant backs and stuff by our door because the only way to lock it is to use the key which is an old time key skeleton key and if you lock it then you lock yourself in. Well if I need to get out in a hurry then what, so I decided to put our medicine bottles in front of the door and when someone opens it then they will fall on the bottles. Good one, huh?<br>Love to you all and goodnight.<br>Mick and Lisa

... I haven't envied the daily menu of the others... but I must admit that we have tried some cakes. They were divine! After having spent 2 days in full relaxation we decided to organize the next days and discover the region. As matter of fact, we have scheduled our treatments in the morning and kept the afternoon free. The Hotel staff has been very kind and organized some excursions for us. Every desire was made possible with cordiality and ...

We made our first trip to Venice today after a failed attempt of getting on the wrong train and going all the way to Slovenia! We were happy that we got it right this time! And since it is January, it was a bit on the cold side. But we had fun exploring and getting lost. I had no idea Venice was so big. We must have ...

... Everyone who is reading this knows I'm a bit of a sucker for nice clothes and playing with makeup so you can imagine my awe at these women of all ages and all sizes (though often petite - I feel even more like an Amazon than usual) wearing all sorts of stuff, but all put together so well. Everyone seems to wear a palette of attractive neutrals, greys, blues, blacks, khakis, reds and blacks (many of my faves!), often involving tight-but-not-too-tight jeans, a gorgeous ...

... I could ramble on and on about, but I'll just spare you the time now and tell you in person :) It's weird to think I only have about 2 weeks left over here....have I really been gone that long?! I'll post pictures as soon as I can find internet that isn't ridiculously expensive....seriously (The place I'm at now is cheap, costing me only 3 euros an hour, but everywhere else it's 8 euros an hour - that's about $11 or $12...yikes!) Ciao!

... city ever to have a map, it's all pedestrian, with short alleys and the omnipresent canals, and so winding and confusing that you're better off trying to follow the signs and hoping eventually you stumble upon your ultimate destination. That's what happened to me. There was a long stretch where I lost the sign maps to Marco, then all of a sudden I found one and the next thing I knew I was in the middle of it. San Marco is a stunning location. It's right on the sea with huge ...

... I still think it is worth it! As there are no roads (obviously), the main form of transportation is by vaporetto, which are small boats that operate as ferries (about triple the size of the Granville Island ones for the Vancouver crowd!). While not cheap, they are fairly efficient and reliable. Except for the one time when we had the new driver in training, and he kept crashing in to the dock. Other than that, there are of course the ...
