Holiday update

---

Well finally i am able to get on the internet!

We arrived in Venice on Sat by train and it took no time at all. Found our hotel which is right beside the Danieli hotel which is very elaborate. Deb Paulides had arrived early on Sat and was there waiting for us. After Julie and Julia arrived we went to San Marco sq and treated ourselves to a bubbly, music and sunshine at Florian Caffe in the square. Jim and Sonia joined us and we all ended up in at a tiny restaurant for dinner.

Sunday we all just meandered around sightseeing even stopping at Harrys Bar for an Americano.

Hotel Wildner for my birthday dinner! Food was great, position was right on the waterfront and I again was so humbled to have been able to share my day with great friends who came to Venice. Had a great birthday day! so busy and lots of laughs.

We toured the Doges Palace Monday and yesterday went over to Murano....wonderful glass designs and jewellery!!

Today I am having a 3 hr walkingbtour with a phtographer
