Greetings from Oz. I have been enjoying your pictures of Venice as my own personal trip down memory lane. We were there during December so we basically had the place to ourselves as it is not tourist time. It was actually snowing the day we arrived and the canals looked like frozen coke slushies! When we arrived it was about 11:00pm and the hotel we were staying at only did breakfast and so being starving we bravely walked through the winding streets to a place that stayed open especially for us after the hotel called them for us. (they seem to be extra helpful for aussies!) please make sure you fit a visit the the Murano glass factory. My hubby bought a large vase for me and they package and send things through the post so that there is lovely surprise waiting for you when you get back from holidays. 🙂

Hi Corrie and thanks for your comment. Having snow in Venice must have been an experience! Murano is on the list. We went there last time and loved it – also Burano and Torcello. Our home exchange hosts have recommended San Servolo as well. We might even run out of time.

I’m taking notes Rosemary. Must have a Colazione Casanova, looks wonderfully decadent!
You are so lucky to be in Venice (even if the weather isn’t great)! I love Venice, it’s the first city I visited in Europe and where I decided I wanted to live in this continent, I decision I’ve never regretted.
Your breakfast and the cafe look so exquisite! Have a great time!

Thank you! We don’t mind the weather – as long as it’s not raining all the time!
Can’t believe you each had that massive breakfast! Was that €38 each??

We did – but we stayed a while (and we didn’t have lunch). Yes, I have to admit is was €38 – but our only extravagence in Venice. We had two “fast” days …
I haven’t fasted properly since I went to Australia and gained back most of the weight I lost. I was too stressed I think! I’m going to start again as I feel much better when fasting.

Good luck! We’ve been fasting consistently for nearly a year now. Once it gets to the automatic stage, you find you can’t do without it. Let me know how you go.
Magnificent breakfast, and it starts a magnificent day, even with the rain. Beautiful shots.
Thanks William.

Decadent is the word!
Was JM alarmed at the thought of sharing his breakfast with anyone, or just you? :_)
Alarmed at not getting the full breakfast for himself!

I loved the Soave too! Did you eat the pasta al nero? That was such a cool culinary experience for me. Le sigh…now I want to go back to Venice!
Ha! ha! We did eat the pasta al nero. Hope you”ll be able to go back!
