But not cats. Cats can fck right off.

 

More pigeon news! Will keep you updated

 

Was in Venice recently and the amount of rough looking pigeons I saw, just standing there with their wing seemingly hanging off , who then eventually just flew off right as rain was numerous.

Basically they’re massive fakers, so don’t believe a world they say.

 

Everything in Venice is a con.

 

For years my wife had been banging on about going there. I was resistant because as you say, everything is a con, and stinks most of the year. I based this off of people I knew who'd been.

Last year we went on holiday to Croatia, we drove there, on the return journey she wanted to go to Venice. So I suggested we stay in a different town and catch a train. We spent 4 hours in Venice, it was more than enough and it's chalked off of the list so I don't have to go there again.

 

Like many beautiful places, spoiled by people flocking to view it. Most of the world's 'must see' attractions are a big disappointment in real life.

 

Pigeon news.

 

Don't recommend this. Dog food is extremely hard to ignite and doesn't really make a good spectacle.

 

We did similar actually, just the other way round, went south to north in Italy, then across to Croatia.

I found Venice a bit odd, in that I would never have been bothered to have gone there, but at the same time it’s kind of like a wonder of the world, so it was interesting to see it and chalk it off the list and I was glad I went for that reason. It just so happened that it made sense for us to fly there from Sicily, and then it was easy for us to get the train from there to Bologna then on to Cinque Terre. We spent a couple of days there, but one was definitely enough. Once you walk round for a bit you’ve kind of seen everything you need to, and beyond wandering around there isn’t anything else to do really. We didn’t find it too overpriced (about the same as London prices €9 for a pint mostly) but we did accidentally wander into a hotel bar by the canal that was €30 for a cocktail and €18 for a bottle of beer.
