Giro D'Italia 96' - Across Italy in 96' ( Part 9 )

True Life Story

Well, Well, Florence was like paradise, true place for Wonderful thoughts & feelings. A lot of excitement and nice gatherings with nice people. Everything was nice and fixed and when I think of it, it revives such a nice memories. The same great feelings as when Luciano Pavarotti sings "O, Sole Mio". The same was Rome, beautiful & fixed, the same was Sicily, mystical & phenomenal.

We expected much from Venice, that's why we proceeded further. It was the time when Venice film festival was, that's why our expectations were very high. We got on the train and in few hours, we were in Venice. Went on the recommended Place for accommodation and we found, no free place. Went on another and another and another and there was no Place.

Of course, no Place for staying, all the World was in Venice, it was 53rd International Film Festival. The only place, we found was on the roof of one of the Hotels, where they kept washing powders, towels and other stuff. Venice didn't look like Venice, we imagined. Yes, we visited everything to be seen in Venice from St.Marco Square to Gallerie dell'Accademia still the smell of the washing powders was in our mouths.

I remember one night, when we were walking on the narrow stone streets of Venice, I heard familiar voice and than a man showed up, it was Keith Richards from Rolling Stones, it was something like remembering something nice that happened in Venice.

It was enough from Venice, too much temptations. We are going to my friend Marco in Udine, there will be better, hopefully.
