And, because there was no daylight to see at the end of the tunnel when it takes that final dip, I have the photograph of everyone sitting behind me smiling and laughing while I'm at the front, gripping the front of the boat, and screaming my head off.<br /><br />Still, I suppose there are worse ways to spend Boxing Day, unless of course you're a fox.Good Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10789861569691613179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039080.post-64052075521636737722009-07-25T23:14:39.615+01:002009-07-25T23:14:39.615+01:00Didn't anyone ever tell you that you should NE...Didn't anyone ever tell you that you should <b><i>NEVER</i></b> to go on a flume ride after the sun has set?Brian Sibleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395103557170474777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039080.post-70895656908646992472009-07-25T23:11:51.073+01:002009-07-25T23:11:51.073+01:00What a fantastic display.

I'm glad you had a great time and it's great that the Venetian authorities out that on to celebrate your birthday.<br /><br />I've only just got back to watching fireworks. For many years growing up and living on farms we couldn't have any because the cattle wouldn't take too kindly to all the crashes and bangs. So it's only recently I've got back to watching them.<br /><br />I did like the nighttime display at Disneyland, even though I stood watching them having just got soaked on Splash Mountain. (Sit at the front of the log, they said. You'll stay as dry as a bone. Grrr!)Good Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10789861569691613179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039080.post-21486123800674989552009-07-24T09:31:54.935+01:002009-07-24T09:31:54.935+01:00Thanks, guys, for your (as always) enthusiastic ap...Thanks, guys, for your (as always) enthusiastic appreciation. <br /><br />There is, of course, just an <i>outside chance</i> that one or two more Venetian images might make an appearance over the next few weeks... ;-)Brian Sibleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395103557170474777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039080.post-34273708553342097982009-07-23T20:37:29.500+01:002009-07-23T20:37:29.500+01:00Beautiful!

Parts of the finale were absolutely breathtaking.<br /><br />Unfortunately, fireworks create real problems in my home and blight the life of my daughter. It's a shame that because of the noise she can't get to appreciate them.<br /><br />As for your visit, it's so lovely that it was all you'd hoped for - and a lot more.SharonMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369769107190148944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039080.post-45226323310543466152009-07-23T16:17:03.514+01:002009-07-23T16:17:03.514+01:00GILL e-mailed...
