Been in Venice for a couple of days now and it is my favourite place thus far. Apart from being the pigeon capital of Europe, it has an amazing atmosphere. Venice is like a small island, connected to the rest of Italy by a long bridge (like 2km long] and is a town floating on water. There are so many little side streets and canals and bridges that cars are not allowed on it. We basically put the map away and walked around all day exploring the city, finding an awesome jazz bar with 2 for 1 drinks and a ceiling decorated in bras from the various female clients that have frequented the place. We also got dinner there and they forgot to charge us for our drinks at the bar, so subsequently we got 2 pina coladas, 2 beers and 2 bellini's (an italian drink of champagne and peach juice) as well as a 2 course meal each for $60.
We found this shop that sells t-shirts designed by young graphic artists, so i picked up one with pigeons in the shape of a skull.
We are staying at a camping village about a 15minute bus trip from venice and it is really cool. It has 2 bars, a restaurant, a supermarket, pool, gym and an internet cafe (where i am now). We head off to florence tomorrow.

Dude sounds like you are having an absolute blast. So how are the rest of the crowd in the camping village? What is a camping village and don't say a village made for camping. Does it at all resemble some sort of hippie commune? Look forward to some photos and more pigeon shinannigans. Jacks 21st was on friday night and a very large evening it turned out to be. Everyone was rather blind and fun times were had by all. Mine is coming up this sat so hopefully it can be repeated. I trust your enjoying your rather extended mid year uni break and not causing too much pain for the european union. I would like to ehar that you have been deported from at least one small crappy country while you are away. Take it easy brother, look forward to your next blogging.
PHOTOS if possible.
The camping village was basically like a campsite pretty much, except it was fairly self sufficient with a supermarket, bar etc. It was mostly full of australians and americans and other tourists from europe (sort of the contiki tour demographic), not much like a hippie commune except for the 15 people who just slept on the grass.
Photos are a bit hard to get onto the computer at this stage, so i think you will have to wait till we get back to the uk
Can you email me yours and jacks home addresses so i can send you birthday cards
