ahem


Walking around Venice this summer, we came across this poster. "Arrgh, why could we not have been in Paris for this?", we said, "Quick, take a photo anyway to show the folks back home". Such a line-up would have been a beauty to behold, right enough.

Turns out it was all a ruse. An elaborate fake by French-Portuguese graffiti artist, André. He posted this and others in several major cities around the world, some more obvious than others. Had we seen the one boasting Serge Gainsbourg, Boris Vian, Jacques Brel and Nina Simone, 'For One Night Only', we may not have been quite as foolish. I blame it on the sunshine.

Italia 2013 #3 Venice











To end our recent jaunt to Italy, I requested we leave from Venice. Enjoying the main island by day, we escaped to the calm of La Certosa island for nighttime. An idyllic spot and a perfect get-away from the main tourist drag (bar the mosquito monsters).
