Experiences posted first!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: eras medium itc, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"&gt;Experiences:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: eras medium itc, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"&gt;Free Upgrade:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: eras medium itc, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"&gt;After experiencing Dubai, it was time to sample the beer &amp;ndash; reminiscent of Club Med, we nearly missed the flight! Drew &amp;amp; Irene to one counter, Bradley &amp;amp; I to another. Result, a free upgrade for Drew &amp;amp; Irene and us sent to cattle class!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt="" style="width: 550px; height: 320px;border: 0px solid;" src="/images/IMG_0105.JPG" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: eras medium itc, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"&gt;Dead Dog:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: eras medium itc, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"&gt;The stairs are pitch black and the people have a fascination with little dogs. We live three flights up the stairs, walking up &amp;amp;, about to reach the front door; Bradley steps on the owner&amp;rsquo;s dog and nearly kills it!! And it nearly killed Bradley through him having a heart attack caused by fright!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: eras medium itc, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"&gt;The Squat:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: eras medium itc, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"&gt;To prove that you can be anywhere in the world, after a day in Venice, about 7.30pm about to walk up some steps to cross the water, we seen it! Lo and behold, a girl of about 25 years old, skirt up, knickers down squatting on the steps! Proceeded to finish, hitch them up and walk off hand in hand with girlfriend! Other than that, Venice was awesome! St Mark's Church - brilliant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt="" style="width: 529px; height: 300px;border: 0px solid;" src="/images/ash_raeburn_bradely_allen_atop_church_of st_mark.JPG" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: eras medium itc, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Cat:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: eras medium itc, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"&gt;Who in the world walks a dog and carries a cat around their neck &amp;ndash; apparently normal in the town of Treviso!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: eras medium itc, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"&gt;Lost Items:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: eras medium itc, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"&gt;To this stage, Bradley had misplaced his Passport and me &amp;ndash; my wallet. Where were they &amp;ndash; safe in the place we had left them &amp;ndash; in our room!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: eras medium itc, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"&gt;Language:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: eras medium itc, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"&gt;So far, so good, apart from 4 euro worth of bread rolls rather than four! 14 bread rolls later &amp;ndash; we are sick of bread!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: eras medium itc, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Stay tuned &amp;ndash; more to come regarding the wedding &amp;ndash; Long Live the Bumblebee&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 8px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
