Venice
|
|
Taken from a gondola in the Grand Canal. At night. It's tough to
see, but it's there. The white thing in the distance is the Rialto
bridge. It's old.
|
|
Whooooo... Gondola's go fast! Whooo! |
|
This is actually a lot cooler than it looks. |
|
This is the Rialto bridge again. Closer now. And a
little older than in the first picture. |
|
Close up of Rialto. Bonni told me that you have to kiss when
you go under bridges. Sometimes I had to remind her. |
|
Movie of us on the gondola. |
|
Movie that's way cooler than the one you just watched. |
|
We like this picture. It looks better when it's not shrunk. |
|
Actually, forget the last one... this is the picture we like. |
|
You get haircuts here.
Actually, the poles "have something to do with colours representing family
names". That's a direct quote from Bonni.
|
|
First night in Venice and Bonni makes me spend $160 on a friggen
gondola ride.
Notice how happy the gonolier looks.
|
|
Our hotel room in Venice had a wicked little Patio. Not a balcony. A
Patio. Bonni is very particular about the correct terminology.
Anyway, this is the view from it.
|
|
This is more of the view from our balco... er, patio.
|
|
This picture makes Bonni happy. Which in turn, makes me happy.
This pretty much sums up the vibe in Venice.
I was happy to discover that it doesn't stink like some whiners seem to lead you
to believe.
|
|
More canals. They're friggin everywhere. |
|
Streets. Taken from a bridge over a canal. For what
it's worth. |
|
A shot of the Grand Canal during the day. Pretty cool, hey? |
|
Day 2. I'm not as scared as I look. |
|
"Ok... now take a picture of just me, Punky!" |
|
Ask Bonni about the pigeons. |
|
This is a cool movie of San Marco Square. You sit and have a very
civilized lunch while these guys (half of whom like Bobby Deniro) play you a
little something.
It don't come cheap, though. We got bent over the table for $30 coffee.
|
|
Bonni is happier than she looks. Notice the old stuff in the
background |
|
This is the Bastilica (fancy italian word for church) in San Marco
square. |
|
Bobby Deniro - lookin' dude on the fiddle |
|
OOOOH! Versace!! I can barely contain my glee!! |
|
Here I am being artsy. |
|
I'm happier than I look in this photo. Pizza rocks. |
|
This is a dumb picture. It's an out of focus shot of the ally
our hotel was in. Ignore it. |
|
Bonni's favorite movie - it sums up Italy for her. Had I known that we
were going to nail this so early, we could have saved a lot of money.
|
|
Panoramic photo of the Basilica in San Marco square. |
|
This is where we ate breakfast every morning in Venice. It
was so civilized I could just sh*t. It had the BEST coffee. |
|
Tough guy. |
|
I like this shot of Bon. |
|
Why does my face look so swollen? |
|
Here too. I don't know what was going on. I was
probably reacting to the vicious bastard mosquitos. We had marks from our
bites for three weeks. |
