Island in the sun


On our latest visit to Mallorca, we couldn't decide whether these sheep were sunburnt or just had a bad case of the trots!!





And we had never seen the sea running so high on the Med!






Venice revisited...

Venice is a special place. It can be over-crowded and smelly and we delayed our visit until October, but it was still over-crowded and smelly!

The weather was still pretty good though so we made the most of it and tried to avoid the "masses".


There is a constant sense of dis-organised mayhem on the Grand Canal but I guess it just gives the visitors something to talk about.



A trip out to Burano and Murano gave us a sense of tranquility one day.


And we thought the 24 hour clock was something special.



The Venetian food is something special, and we enjoyed a couple of favourites plus a couple of new "finds".




You wouldn't think she was AQUARIUS, would you?
