Venice day 2
Ok so we woke up in Venice to some strange noises. Wayne thought I was doing it in my sleep but clearly not. Searching round the room for hidden cameras that may have video our late night antics we weren’t successful.
We missed breakfast because Wayne was feeling lazy but had an early taster of tonights desert ![]()
So getting up and dressed to face a day in Venice. Walking through San Marco and taking lots of pictures we walked around the square looking very much like tourists. Taking some back streets we managed to get ourselves lost, good thing we had the map the receptionist gave us last night. Finding some market stalls down the little back streets we came to a dead end. We were at the docks for all the boats to take passengers to other islands or to get the full view of Venice. We turned back and found a bin. On it? A poster directing to McDonalds. Well I was starving as we’d had no breakfast so went on the search. It was just past the Rialto, so we headed towards the most famous bridge in Italy, in search of McDonalds
we found the bridge and took some pics and looked at the pretty shiny things they had for sale in the shops, on a bridge! Off we go, down some more back streets, Wayne got us lost but we found out way with the map (google maps is terrible out here) and headed in the ‘right’ direction. After a long time of walking and finding some more bins with directions to the only McDonalds in Venice we found it. Looks busy but I’m starving so we go in. Mmm foodings. I had my usual but Wayne had something new… Crispy bacon burger with cheese. Hmmm they need to sell these in the UK. Scoffing McD’s we head back out on to the street but it’s raining. Wayne has a hood but I don’t and i’m starting to look likes drowned rat. We stumble across some umbrellas, €8! F*ck off! Wayne says let’s run but I don’t fancy spending the weekend in jail so into the shop to pay then back out onto the street to find our way back to San Marco. Hmm this is difficult. Several wrong turning’s but we finally make it back cold and a bit wet. We see a queue for the basilicia and head towards it. Having to walk across the raised walk ways because the square is partially flooded we head inside. O no, it’s flooded in here too. Skip hop and jump we’re in and as we walk inside I can’t believe my eyes. How beautiful! Wayne ignores the ‘no pictures sign’ while I stare up towards the beautiful gold leaf ceiling. We take a walk round discussing religion and such like before we start to get cold and decide to head back to the hotel room. It’s not as flooded as last night so me and my uggs are safe to walk across the bridges and down the alleys to the hotel. Hmm I fancy a bubble bath so Wayne kindly got the hot water on, bath gel poured in and in I get. Was so nice and warm and so relaxing and I even got the have a glass of champagne while I was in there. Dried off it’s now Wayne’s turn but the bubbles are far and few between. Ooops my bad. Never mind eh. So both of us washed and cleaned watching the news, we hear something. Not our recording again :s nope next doors tv and some desperate moaning from whatever woman is in there getting some. Ok well at least we know there’s no cameras in our room now but this just isn’t right. Forgetting Sarah Marshall style, well…
Wayne has a headache too much champagne methinks. Open the window to cool him down while I write this to update the blog. Sleepy Wayne looks so cute. Will update the rest of our day later but for now cuddles and afternoon sleeps listening to the sounds of Venice outside the window. And Wayne’s snoring.
Ok so two hours later we finally got up and dressed ready for some dinner. We walked around town and down some back streets looking for some dinner. A few wrong turns and dead ends later we found a nice little restaurant and sat down for some dinners. Well you’d think we’d be bored now but I had carbonara and Wayne had a prosciutto ham pizza same old same old. Ok so a nice walk back round San Marco making our way back to the hotel room. Well… Night night x
