Wednesday was chores day, with several loads of washing done and an interesting shop at the local market. Always fun to try to work out what things are and to search the aisles for what would be common items in Oz. Confrontation with Madame Checkout ensured when I hadn't weighed the bananas myself.
Walked about our area, before walking on to a vaporetto and walking straight into Terry and Glen, who had just arrived in Venice. Met up with the whole gang at the Austral Bricks bar for free drinks (3 hours), where a burgeoning group of Aussies and hangers-on stood next to the Grand Canal and Rialto. Our substantial group included Ian Thorpe and his boyfriend. The surprise guest was Tom Holiday who's girlfriend Kirsty had cajoled and mothered into overcoming his fear of flying.
Early dinner and bed was called for tired and well-plied travellers. Lovely Glenys has come to my rescue with cold and flu drugs from Oz. Two weeks now.
Guess where?
