Wanting to squeeze one last trip into my mid-20s (I'm 27 now!), I set off to Venice last weekend. We flew from East Midlands to 'Venice Treviso' airport, which is not even slightly close to Venice. Treviso airport was interesting: it was in the arse end of nowhere and smaller than Sywell airfield (probably). We hopped on a bus - which ad-libbed its route and timetable - and (a not inconsiderable time later) arrived in Venice.
The walk from Venice's coach station to our hotel provided the first point of tension in mine and Darryl's relationship: Google maps gave us sound directions but awful GPS tracking, meaning we'd follow directions along a canal, but then the blue dot would dart off and tell us we were hundreds of meters away from where we thought we were, so we'd alter our directions to get back to the route, only for the blue dot to skip back to where it was minutes ago. This happened multiple times, and only would have been mildly annoying, except it was raining, hard, my umbrella had inverted itself, and Darryl was having to pick up a heavy suitcase every 15 metres to go over a bridge.
All's well that ends well, though, and after a shower we were in better moods and ready to explore. Over the next couple of days the weather improved, we found a bar which served some surprisingly decent wine for €1.50 a glass, another one where 800ml was a standard serving of beer, and a pretty good selection of vegetarian and vegan food. We did the obligatory touristy stuff (Rialto bridge, Doge's Palace, St Mark's Bell Tower & Basilica), and ventured out onto the canals and into the lagoon on a kayak. It was the first time Darryl had ever picked up a paddle, and we only hit a few other boats.
Since my last post I've been seen by haematology again, and had another U-turn of opinion, and the decision was made to not start G-CSF treatment. Given that this means I won't need to be thinking about fridge storage for these injections, I've booked a few weeks travelling through India and Nepal in September, with a couple of days stopover in Dubai on the way back. I'll be making my way from Delhi to Kathmandu, via Jaipur, Agra, Orchha, Varanasi, Lumbini, Chitwan and Pokhara. I'll be going through the Himalayas and plan to do hot air ballooning/paragliding/a flight around Everest - can't wait!
