Venice (Jun 2009)

Laura and Debbie enjoyed a girly long-weekend in Venice in June. Staying at the Hotel Mercurio, five minutes walk from the Piazza San Marco, they had a fabulous time: Bellini cocktails at Caffe Florian on the Friday night; a magical gondola ride on the Saturday evening; a trip up to the top of the Campanile; and long walks around Piazza San Marco and the Rialto district. A weekend to remember!

Alas, digital camera batteries ran out before they'd got out of the gondola. From then on, they had to rely on disposable cameras hastily bought in Piazza San Marco. Lesson learnt?
