Hi everyone! Sorry for the delay in getting you news. Italy was a whirlwind tour and lacking in great wifi access. I had to wait to get back to green and beautiful Austria to send along a note. Today is our last day in Austria and we will be heading to the Best Western in Munich tonight.
(By the way in my last post, I meant to say Donizetti, not Carmen "stole the show") Late nights!
Anyway, the kids are well and looking forward to going to Swarovski Crystal World today. The sky is blue and the weather has been hot. We had quite the surprise in Verona at the Aida performance when, after the third act the heavens opened up on us! Hail the size of golf balls and torrential rain. We gathered everyone up and raced to the bus . It was hysterical! We looked like a bunch of drowned rats and well.....Sam's umbrella said it all..(pics to come). In Vienna we explored Doges palace and when things got a little too hot, some of the girls sat on the grand stairway and sang some songs. The tourists in the toilet lineup were extremely grateful for the music but we were booted off by the Doges polizia ;( Anyway, we thought that maybe a flash mob in the centre of Doges would be a great idea but maybe next time :) Venice and Verona are still beautiful as they always have been and all the kids loved the masks that Ann took us to see. Sadly, the mask maker takes Saturday off but we still managed to purchase a few things and ooo and aahhhh at the colourful caricatures. Anyway, more to come later tonight as I am sure the BW will have decent Wifi. Alison.
