How very true. We fell in love with Italy a few years ago. We haven't visited the lakes yet, but they are on the list.

I guess Italy was `magic` I met my late wife at an Italian evening class.

Not so good now-it fades without use. I can get by but not what it was in 1999. I still have courses up to advanced sitting silently that I will use if I ever go back. I went to Sicily last year on a singles trip and was accused by some as being a snob because I spoke Italian-oh well

Re: We are going to Venice

Funny that you should mention Sicily, because we have booked up to go there in July. I told you that we loved the place. We have a cd's on Italian and still haven't gotten round to listening to them yet
Just because you can speak Italian, how on Earth does that you a snob? Some people can be a real pita

You will love Sicily but be warned it can get pretty hot in July. And yes the mafia do exist but they put it about that nobody should mess with tourists,tourists bring in money .

The lovely canal side restaurant is called "Pizzaria Ristorante Povoledo"

Is just on the right hand side once you have walked past the railway stations right in amongst the shops, extremely easy to miss.

Look for the Hotel Bell Epoque on the left next to Trattoria Bella Venezia and the Povoledo is just opposite. Do not be scared or reticent to go in as it looks dark and dingy from this side. As I said, they will walk you right through and out the other side where you are right on the canal side and can have a great lunch watching the boats go by. It makes for a lovely occasion. And don't forget the Aperol Spritz's !
