Memoirs of a geordie man in Venice pt2

From Steve my visitor: Day Two in the Big Venice house. 10.30 am, washed the haze of a wine fuelled evening into the early hours the night before with a superb coffee across the street in the company some of the great players in European art world, canny for a sunday.11.15am, Back to the apartment for eggs, then out. 12.00pm explored the Sunday flea markets on the quayside, bursting with trinkets, artwork, jewelry and antiques, no fleas like. 12.40pm, took to the water with a trip around the grand canal of Venice. A very relaxing and invigorating way of seeing this city. 2.00pm, visited the famous cemetery island, this place was immensely beautiful but also very uncomfortable place to be, in fact me and James got a bit freaked out and sat quietly all the way back. 4.00pm, Returned to the centre, stopped of for a slice of pizza (2 Euros) then joined James working colleagues for a cocktail, these people I think are giants in their field and it was a privileged to spend a short time in their excellent company, We even at one point compared the streets of Philadelphia and New York to the back lanes of Tyneside. Bizarre, but whatever you do, don't mention the fish to James!!!! 7.oopm Back to the apartment. Pasta, wine, coffee, chill, done. A great day in excellent company, "Gonna keep me'sel right with the wine the neet though" Tomorrow Hieronymus Bosch, Come on!!!!!!!! Best Wishes and keep a'haad, Steve.
