02_09_06 VENEZIA

so this is the story all about how venice rules.
had 3 nights (second time around) here, heading off today southern western wards to Lucca and then cinque terra and then to our final wwoofing appointment near parma (like the ham mmmmmm)

we have been joined by the globe trotting mama kath (arrived italy ~22/8) and we will travel together until we all depart italia mid sept.

better stories will be added with additional visual component.

just wanted to say hi and that we are ace and especially missing our peeps right about now.

i managed to crash the venice film festival (which was brief but ok) and then got invited to the venice short film festival which was mind alteringly neat. more on this later (i guess).

so love and bye

please send massages via comments cos they make us feel snuggly.

26_July_2006 Milano

am. Latte macchiato. Brioche. Gelato. Espresso. Gelato. Panini. Gelato. Pizza. Vino. Mio Dio. pm
Franciscan monks in sack cloth robes taking time out from a dan brown tour for a quick espresso.


The gallery of modern art cunningly disguised as a suburban mansion so we had mr van gogh all to ourselves (and a dozen odd milling attendants).
Armani's emporium? bah. why wouldjah?
Milan night life. didn't make it to where the beautiful people were. all nite disco. strict entry selection. don't know if we want(ed) to be so celeb. maybe we are celebophobic? but got to hang in the park with milanese youth's touting chilli bins of beer. yeah.

27 July 2006 Venice (take 1)

Peggy Guggenheim's gallery of modern art. Tu meke.

Concentration camp of kids @ Balerno beach.

Nice storm(s). Glad we didn't take the campsite...


28_July_2006 Murano

"Don't go there, its not that cool" (Mark Albiston, 2006)
"...and it might threaten your relationship..."

And especially don't go there if neither of you even wants to go there but think that the other really wants to go there so you each go out of your way to accommodate the others wishes and spend 50 stinking hot minutes on a ferry to get there only to find them indifferent about being there once you finally get there so you turn around for another 50 sweltering minutes cruising the venetian scum pond wishing all the time you were at the beach which is where it turns out you both wanted to be in the first place if the other hadn't wanted so badly to go to the island of murano. which they didn't. Thanks mark albiston.
