Italia Take 2 - Milan and Venice

Friday night flight out of Paris - there are strikes but still manage to get to the airport in time. So much stress! Woke up in Milan - one of the most boring town ever. Had gelato for brekky - starting the theme of the weekend. Gelato solves all. Decided to leave early and stop at Verona on the way to Venice. Got sidetracked by the look of a pretty lake out of the window. Had no idea where we were.Finally found a sign that said Desenzano. The Lake was beautiful and we found a little jetty to sunbake on and drink luke warm wine from the bottle. Laughing hard at trying to make my boobs look bigger :) Then on to beautiful Venice - stayed in a hotel in the centre, lovely little window sill for a piccy! Trying on our made in china venetian masks on - broke it before we even left Venice :( On the canals in the rain.. it was pissing down almost all day. Looking like drowned rats overlooking St Mark's square. Eating Gelato in the pouring rain on Murano Island.Makes anyone smile. Blowing away at Murano Island in front of the glass sculpture. Then we met Chewie and Lisa for dinner and copious amounts of Bellinis - the bar had to go into their cellar to get more bottles and we drank it warm after that. Catching the very last boat home with the Bridge of Sighs in the background. Very hungover and grumpy early morning flight back to Paris! No gelato to soothe hangover = very sad Nikki.
