Glassblowing and tapas

Emma writes:
Day 37 

Today we went on a boat to see glassblowing.  The glassblower has a little bit of glass to start with on a metal stick and then he puts it into a hot fire and it heats up.  He blows on the glass and it pops and goes bigger and bigger and bigger.  First he made a little bowl then a shiny horse. 

We went up a tower.  From the top of the tower we could see the whole of  Venice. I like Venice because we get to go on water.  We have been on a lot of boats.  It is just like a bus because you wait at a stop.  It is rocking really hard because it is on water and there are waves.  A boat comes along and you get on it.  After that we went and got gelato, I got strawberry, Holly got berry and James got cream caramel. 

We went out for dinner.  We got Italian tapas.  I got a huge fanta.  I ate musssels, prawns, squid rings, fried potato and I tried octopus.  It tasted like you would think an octopus tastes like.  I liked it.

  1. That horse is amazing, I bet Holly wanted Mum to buy it. Good on you for trying all that different seafood, I don't think I would be keen to try octupus.
