25 hours to Venice!!

After 25 long hours (including a 4 hour stopover in Dubai) we arrived safely in Venice!  This place is so different............we haven't seen a lot yet apart from the area near  our hotel but have liked what we've seen so far. Amazingly the first people we met in our hotel were from Moorooka in Brisbane.
The room is lovely, very Italian and ornate but I love it.
Dubai was as busy as ever, I have added a few pics for those of you who have never seen it. We had a very enthusiastic young man serve us our coffee there and he knew we were Australians after hearing the accents of Ricky Ponting and Michael Clarke!  Now wait for this.........we got an upgrade on our flight from Dubai to Venice to Business Class. Don't know how we'll be able to stand economy again after the experience. Have a look at Stephen in his seat........I think he loved it!
Well that's all for now, will put more pics up tomorrow, apparently breakfast is outside by the canal!!!
