They normally have elevated boards in St Marks Square for when the area floods

But they were removed in the preparations for the Pope’s visit over the weekend

The Lord moves in mysterious ways eh?

FFS

It’s all about proper preparation

Which we hadn’t done

Fortunately someone lent us these boots

Venice we have a problem

Having a Bellini in Harry’s Bar #Venice

In Harry’s Bar at the moment

Looks like a working men’s club missing a dartboard to be honest

Gnocchi with butter and sage for lunch

With a bottle of wine obvs

Unpopular opinion - Venice edition

Aperol Spritz is absolutely rancid

Anything he does over hurdles will be a bonus

Breakfast with a view #Venice

The waterbus ride from Rialto to S.Toma

How is started versus how it ended

Crispy octopus with pumpkin and pistachios

Honestly one of the best things I’ve ever eaten (and I have a fair back catalogue for comparison) #Venice

Having a crack at some of these #Venice

Duck ragu for lunch. Very tasty #Venice

The Murano lighthouse #Venice

Fair play to these lads for avoiding trouble in the lagoon waterways #Venice

I’d say you might want to look away today if you’re not keen on photos of Burano

And looking in the opposite direction #Venice
