if you want a long update go read ajax_nz, he's better at these things than me
Venice - I don't remember san marco's flooding that much, but it's still my favourite city, even if it's some what overpriced. I know at some point I have to make a list of stuff to go and see, but this trip was a tourist trip. My dad and alan got on okay, but I don't think he won my mum over to the same extent. But she was always a harder sell (he should have mentioned how much he liked Sarum). San Marco's church can be shot round at a great rate. The Doge's palace is crammed full of propaganda art all still in situ, but a bit over whelming enmasse however, it does represent much better value per euro. wandered into a few churches and the jewish ghetto. Everyone always says Paris is a romantic city, Venice has no traffic and not a bit of it is unpicturasque always gets my romantic vote.
Athens is another large crowded city and the more of them I see the more I dislilke them, though i don't think we are in a great part of it. Also would help if I lived in one myself. Anyway off to the Greek Islands day after tomorrow.
