Opinions obviously vary. I found Venice one of the most entrancing and
visually gorgeous places I've ever been. I also loved listening to the
choral groups singing in various little piazzas (not sure if that's the
right word) on Sunday morning, the sound echoing off the surrounding
stone. To me, and to my husband as well, Venice was a place of magic and
wonder.

Oops! You're right. OK, to all who are wondering - Venice is *terrible*.
Don't ever go there. The place is ugly, the food is dreary and the
people are almost as bad as the French. ;-)

Gee. I thought overcooked pasta was just a French specialty. ;-) *Why*
do they boil the pasta until it's almost mush? I remember reading a
quote from some famous French writer (Dumas?) referring to spaghetti as
sauce on overcooked laundry.

not forgetting the monotonous architecture, that the streets and
pavements are frequently flooded knee deep with raw sewage, and there
are so many tourists, it's like Tokyo at chucking out time.

One of the Dutch TV channels has been showing Jeremy Clarkson's tour
around the EU in an E type Jag., one of the best things he has done.
There was a scene in the Italian episode, where he served a local
Italian branch of the Slow Food Club a tin of All Day Breakfast, Vesta
dehydrated curry ...
