Somehow that great event had passed me by but perché non? Which reminds me I still haven't emailed Caroline and Phil about catching up with them in Feb.

Seriously it would be lovely to meet you two and where better place than Venice?

Vicenza is very very nice

Thanks Lin - it's on my list of possibles for my last day in Venice, a day exploring the Ghetto and Cannaregio being no 1, and a day trip to Padua no 2.

What did you particularly like there?

I like Venice' Via Garibaldi - a real street! With all these usual caffes, gelato shops, kids playing - seems about as real a place in Venice as any - walk along it towards eastern tip of Venice -nearly no tourists and some normal neighborhoods few tourists venture to.

mmm - I like it too, Pal. We discovered it the time we took the kids to Venice and got off the boat back from Murano at the Giardino stop. It's quite a way from where I'll be staying though and something I like to do when I stay in a new neighbourhood is to get to know it as well as I can. So there may not be time for me to get over there on this visit.
