Going to Italy

It was hardly worth going to sleep as we were up at 3.30am to get to Gatwick in time for our flight at 6.50am. In British summer time though we were only just up before the sun which starts to rise about 4am. Maria and Dad were both chirpy as they brought Jo and I our wake up cuppa.

The weather in the UK had been unbeliveably fantastic for our entire trip but on the way to Gatwick the rain came down and the clouds had set in. Hehehe. We brought the sun with us from Australia and took it to Italy with us!

Maria bought us both a BLT, an orange juice and some bananas for our trip, which were greatly appreciated when we got to finally sit down at Gatwick while waiting for our flight.

We took in some last minute shopping to use up some spare pound coins and the Easyjet flight was a nice one over to Venice. We passed over the Swiss Alps (we even got some good pictures from the plane window) and arrived in Venice on a warm and sunny day.
