Week-end trip

This morning was the first day that the temperature was just below 0 Celsius (32 F) when I got up just before 7.
The temperature in the bedroom wasn't much better 10.5 C (51 F)!! (we don't have central heating upstairs and no double-glazing - being a conservation area, we have to keep the old windows).  It was hard to climb out from under the duvet.

Still it is a beautiful sunny morning and it's Friday! And Adrian (london1952) and I are having a long week-end.

We're flying to Venice tomorrow morning and coming back on Monday afternoon. I think this is our 5th trip there, together (and sort of very belated honeymoon, following our Civil Partnership back in April). 

Venice is a city we both adore! No heavy sightseeing plans as we've really seen much of it already; it'll be lovely to just walk around, especially at night and soak in the atmosphere. And of course have a few rides on the vaporetti, up and down the Gran Canal,  and hot chocolate with whipped cream at the Florian and Caffe' Quadri. Possibly visit the re-opened La Fenice theatre.
Ah, and take pictures! (you have been warned!! LOL!)
