Well, here we are. 12 days in and what an adventure it has been. Experiences posted first!!
Experiences:
Free Upgrade:
After experiencing Dubai, it was time to sample the beer – reminiscent of Club Med, we nearly missed the flight! Drew & Irene to one counter, Bradley & I to another. Result, a free upgrade for Drew & Irene and us sent to cattle class!

Dead Dog:
The stairs are pitch black and the people have a fascination with little dogs. We live three flights up the stairs, walking up &, about to reach the front door; Bradley steps on the owner’s dog and nearly kills it!! And it nearly killed Bradley through him having a heart attack caused by fright!
The Squat:
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.

The Cat:
Who in the world walks a dog and carries a cat around their neck – apparently normal in the town of Treviso!!
Lost Items:
To this stage, Bradley had misplaced his Passport and me – my wallet. Where were they – safe in the place we had left them – in our room!!!
Language:
So far, so good, apart from 4 euro worth of bread rolls rather than four! 14 bread rolls later – we are sick of bread!
Stay tuned – more to come regarding the wedding – Long Live the Bumblebee
