Sadly our stay in Venezia has come to an end -the three weeks flew by. We had a great time despite mixed weather and lots happened -including Rob doing the Venice Marathon. We were sad to say goodbye to Rosaria, Livio and Guido and hope that one day we will be able to get back to Venezia to see them again. If we can get the timing right we will see Michele and Francesca again before we head for Rome.
We wandered around Venezia in the morning ,checked out of our apartment and did the usual up & down bridges with ridiculously heavy suitcases to get to the railway station. Despite sending three boxes of stuff home, including books etc our bags are still heavy -it is hard to travel light when it is cold and you're away for a while.

| It's hard doing anything in Venezia -these guys were doing renovations in Fondamenta de lo squero and had to unload their cement bag by bag before they could start |
 |
| A good day for the gondoliere -fine weather and a whole group of Chinese tourists on a tour |
 |
| Not quite stilll enough for no ripples in the water, but still a good day for reflections |
 |
| You can only imagine what damage these boats are doing to Venezia and the laguna |
 |
| Francesco Da Mosta in Campo S Pantalon- saw him a couple of times while we were here. |
Rosaria and Livio came to the station to say goodbye, it was very sad. Hope we see them again soon.
