The weather was a little grey to start with today after a spot of rain early in the morning. After a quick check on the weather for the day, we set off for Trelissick and the closer we got, the better the weather! It turned into a really warm and sunny day, which was great for walking around the garden. There was plenty to see, but also signs of damage caused by the recent bad weather.

We also managed to get ourselves on a house tour limited to 10 people for the day, giving a glimpse of the second floor and cellars that are normally closed to the public. It was intersting to see a few different bits including the rather grand billiards room and the quite extensive wine cellars.

In the evening we headed out for dinner to Pizza Express in St. Ives. We arrived a little early for the table we had booked, but this gave us a chance to see the RNLI lifeboat being towed back in. Dinner was nice, and on the walk back to the car, I took a few more night photos before calling it a night.  

. . . when I say some, I mean us! There was helpfully a train strike in Italy on Friday, unfortunately the very day we were headed for Venice - Fortunately the Strike ended at 5 in the evening so it wasn't too late to get here. Since the last update we have been to Florence where we saw Michalangelo's David, the Duomo and had a walk along the Arno River. We also enjoyed a lazy day at the campsite in Tuscany which mostly consisted of slothing about for the day eating ice cream and sitting in the sun.

Venice is splendid and the weather has been awesome none stop sunshine the whole time we have been in Italy - touch wood! We'll stick some more photos up at the next place with any luck - they have free internet!We're heading to Slovenia (ljubljana) for a couple of nights so will try and fit in some more updates then! Hope everyones well! Ciao!
