The obligatory gondola shot
Lorna's face says "I've never been to Venice, and it's fantastic!"
The lovely Rialto bridge
Here seen from a bit further south in the Canal Grande
A side canal
Out on the open water
Looking into St Mark's Square
Looking back from halfway to the Lido
Our delightful apartment
Heading back in for a crazy carnival night
Which one do I want?
A bit scary
We settle for these cheeky little numbers
What on earth have they done to the Bridge of Sighs???
Taking the whole costume thing VERY seriously
St Mark's is transformed into a fairground
Getting into the spirit
Lorna's sexy boots
The first of many, many, MANY aperol spritzes...
Shall we have another drinkie?
Oh, go on then!
Hard Rock with a difference: no Hummers, just gondolas
More flash masks
And some really creepy ones
Rialto by night
Canal Grande by night
Scary flouro costume on stilts
Shake your booty!
More flouro stilt madness
Lorna does her impression of a cat burglar
Why??
My kind of shop
Marvellous dress
Slightly less elaborate costumes
Our bar for the night - with aperol spritzes at 2 euros a pop!
Keeping it urban
Spiderman, dressed up as me
Even in the middle of carnival, there are so many forgotten corners
More bizarro costumes
Our sumptuous breakfast spread
The look of two people who had a room with a view straight onto Venice
Cold but sunny: perfect sightseeing weather
Love those funky chimneys
It takes guts to wear this stuff by day
More traditional clobber
Yes, we took a ride in a gondola
Sea steed
Slipping along in Cannaregio
Great bumpers
Delicious - and deliciously presented - lamb & veggies
SO MANY people!
I didn't expect to run into Gandalf...
The crush heading for the station that evening
