There were festive lights...
Decorations...
Christmas presents being tried out...
And even a gondola in a Santa hat...

And while we've been travelling (and not travelling) my blog snuck past the 300,000 hit mark...
How lovely to see you both in Venice - and relaxing. It looks as if the flooding has subsided there.
ReplyDeleteYou're well past the 300k mark now - just as well you've kept your wonderful blogs coming!
Enjoy the time in Venice, both of you (though I hardly need to tell you to do that, I rather think you've figured it out on your own, judging by your faces). So glad the delay wasn't too long.
ReplyDeleteAll the best for the New Year's festivities -- see you when you're back in Blogland!
Sharon – Yes, happily, the 'acqua alta' has receded, so (apart from the canals!) Venice is dry under foot.
ReplyDeleteSCB – This is our 15th visit to the city and, for me, probably my last: my failing mobility is particularly unsuited to a place where the ability to walk is a prerequisite and where there are so many bridges and so few places to sit down. I love this beautiful old lady of the sea with a passion that will never die, but our trysts are numbered...
You both look very well in that last picture...mind you after TWO Christmases, you should do ! Have a great time - you can't beat being away at this time of year and a good new year.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you made it! It is so frustrating to have one's holiday plans thwarted. Have a great time and a wonderful new year.
