Day 28 - Venice (the merchandising of Venice)

Ok I woke up at about 7:30 this morning but we didn't leave the house until 10:00.  At ten we went for a stroll around Venice and went to a fresh pasta place where we bought pasta for dinner tonight. The pastas we bought were: gnocchi and 4 different fillings of tortellini. After this we went in search of a gizmo shop for me because I wanted to buy something for myself. When we found one it only had a few gizmo things left in it but I found and bought a brass compass with a sundial which took my fancy. 

After this we were all quite tired and hungry so we headed home via a supermarket for lunch. For lunch we had:  an eggplant parmigiana, bread, tomato, buffalo mozzarella (which was amazing), lettuce and spek (I ate about 3/4 of the spek) 

We had a nice rest after lunch and left the house again at 3 o'clock. (We being mum gill and I.... Daddy and nick had no desire to go merchandising.) There is so much to buy in Venice it's amazing, we had a great time and gill was very surprised how concise we were. Also we had another gelati :D. (Yummy). When we got home the octopus for dinner was cooked and the fest pasta began. 

So overall dinner was fantastic. We had: nick's specialty octopus tentacles (which was awesome), gnocchi (which was so good because it just melted in your mouth), ravioli, lettuce, bread and plenty of wine! 

So yeah that was today (sorry it's a bit late)
