Venice is like eating an entire box of chocolate liqueurs in one go.*

Day 2 - Sunday, June 24 - Venice

We spent most of the morning wandering around the northern part of the city, away from the touristy spots and discovering the Jewish neighbourhood. In the afternoon we went into the Basilica di San Marco.




























The internet's on the street!




Don't ask.










Basilica di San Marco






St. Christopher was also a popular choice.


I don't want to know what they're doing to the poor guy in the well.


Some other church, I think (look there were a lot of them)






Trample those infidels! (Please don't.)




Saturday's photos which slipped through the cracks

1. This reminds me of the "Abbey Road" album cover.
2. "Oh cross, I love you so much, I will hug you and squeeze you and call you George."
3. "Ok, Manticore, how about we go left this time?" - "I don't think that's the ri-SQUIRREL!"
4. LION LIKE LITERATURE OM NOM NOM
5. "Ok, Manticore, you really shouldn't have had that seventh Limoncello." - "HHHOORRRRRRKKKKCHCHCHCH SQUIRREL"
6+7. "Ungh, this thing is really friggin' heavy... hey, what are you looking at? Are you looking at me? I don't see anyone else around..."
8-13. Mmmm, architecturalicious.
14. Street Internet: For when Wi-Fi finally fails.
15. This place needs more domes.
16. "Funny, there's nothing between his legs. What's up with that?"
17. "GODDAMMIT LET ME GO I WILL KILL YOU AND LAY TADPOLES IN YOUR SPLEEN!"
18. "Sire, the building to our right has at least four big arches. These ten mini-arches just aren't going to measure up." - "You're right, Benvolio. Contact Casa Depot and order the Hundred Arch Wall Pack. We're gonna need a shitload of arches to show up those churchy bastards."
19. Fact: Blue boats move faster than other boats, because the Doppler Effect doesn't have to work as hard.
20. Manticore II says, This book is not for eating. It is for stepping on, see? Like a foot stool.
21. HUGS! But manly, like, while still holding our manly swords. Please ignore our TOTALLY MANLY SKIRTS, OKAY? SAINT GEORGE SAID SKIRTS WERE COOL. QUIT JUDGING US!
22. "I've fallen, and I can't get up!"
23. "Oooh, shoulder angel!"
24. "What's that, Lassie? A mob stuffed Timmy down a well again? And they're prepping The Beav too? Let's rescue them!"
25. I would totally worship at the First Church of Brian Blessed, Largest Ham on Earth.
26+27. Wait, let me get this straight. Is this a statue of a horse and rider who are so incredibly kickass, that they are pulverizing a group of armored soldiers AND A CANNON, such that they have become a barely recognizable mass on the ground? Man, Saint George, you are totally getting owned here.
28-30. More pretty architecture! Hooray for Italy!
31. "See, Benvolio? The Hundred Arch Pack totally works. We even gave some of our extras to the guys next door."
32. "Right as always, sire. You can never have too many arches."
