Venezia

---

A Venezia.

will do a full report tomorrow but now want to try to get up some pictures.

couple of things
Bologna has 2 leaning towers.
during the night there the people upstairs arrived home at 3am and proceeded to rearrange the furniture moving it from one side of the room to the other. 15 minutes later they moved it back.

we are staying in a lovely bed and breakfast here in Mestre.
yesterday we walked around venice. today we road in a series of ferries. great value.

mine crater
You have probably seen the newsreel shots of the mine blowing up. It must be 40 metres across and 20 metres deep

Villiers Bretoneux
This is the Australian war memorial at VB. When then the Germans made their final push in 1918 the Australians stopped them here at VB. Since then there has been a special bond between the town and Oz. see next lot of pics.

at the local school
They actually learn oz folk songs and celebrate Anzac day at the school

Mont St Michel. What they secretly have planned for the Nobbys development
What they didn't tell you

Mont St Michel
Good to see they have maintained the integrity of this ancient place and commercialism hasn't been allowed to run rampant

Baaaaa
It's not only in Oz

St Emilion

A street in St Emilion

Nice pics!
Great to see some photos :) Nice Rocky and Bullwinkle reference too! Make sure you indulge in at least one piece of pizza and a gelato every day.
