After a hot day of exploring Venice

Venice sells heaps of masks of all shapes and sizes

Brenton cooking up the left over carbonara for a snack

Just had to do this

Grapes growing on vines along the side of the road

Brenton and his Daisy Dukes in San Gimignano

The Gartons amongst the grapes

Corsini family residence - generations of the family who own the vineyard have lived here

Gardens at the vineyard in Chainti

Stopped at a vineyard for lunch and olive oil tasting and wine tasting

Tuscany and the villa are exactly what I thought the Chianti region of Tuscany would be

So hot there was a heat haze/fog at 6.30am in Dubai

Dubai

30degrees at 5.15am so we got into a cab and did the 2 1/2 hr city tour and paid him 250 dirhams which is approx $60 and we saw the burgarab (?) sail building, walked along the beach beside it and had a photo with a lovely Arab lady, the Atlantis on the Pal Island that is simply amazing but owners have just walked out due to the economic downturn and decline in tourism. Saw lots more buildings etc -well worth the effort!

WALKING-JAM IN BANGKOK

This is the first time I have been in a 'walking-jam' opposed to a traffic-jam.  Have no idea why - just found ourselves jammed in with heaps of Thai people trying to get across the major traffic street in Bangkok!!
