Day 23 - Venice (a rest day at last)

Well I must say my day started very suddenly when mum and dad rang the door bell at 8:30 and I had to rush out off bed and pretend that I had been up for hours. :P tehehehehehe such fun. 

So today was a fantastically uneventful day. We planned and booked the rest of our train tickets around Europe and also organized our walking trip to the Dolomites with Gill and Nick. :D so mum and dad did that until about 12:00 while I hid away deciding that they didn't require my wise judgement (ha :P if only, I'll never be wise) we Skyped the other fatties (and +1's) separately for a bit today which was very nice. Also today the Venetian canals where full of floating dead fish for some reason! It was very unpleasant and it was the first time it ha ever happened in Venice.

Anyway because I really have nothing to talk about I'll talk about today's FOOD!!!! 

Breakfast for me was great because there was WEETBIX!!!!! You have no idea how much I've missed them :D 

Lunch was: Grilled bread with a choice of gorgonzola cheese, buffalo mozzarella, date tomatoes, char grilled capsicum, zucchini, olive oil and brazil (oops yeah we "so" ate brazil I meant basil). Lunch was very good and I was forced into trying some gorgonzola cheese which was...... Interesting. 

For afternoon tea we all had had the biggest one scoop ice cream I've ever seen. I had caramel (which was great), mum had coconut (which she was rather ecstatic about) dad had nocciola and gill had licorice (which she was very happy about it because no one else wanted to try it). 

Dinner was chicken breasts grilled with oregano and olive oil and on the side we had lettuce, potatoes char grilled cappi and olive oil. 

So yeah
