The lad is on his last day of his vacation, due to arrive home tomorrow night. Yesterday and today they’ve been enjoying Venice. This is an image from the ship’s cam. The distant view of Venice is rather obscured by that big-ass ship. Scuse me, but that’s the kindest thing I can say about it. How big do you reckon that thing is? It looks bigger than Venice. It has crossed over the line into indecent.

Saturday evening when the lad’s ship cruised into port, they docked way up by the actual city. There were violent thunderstorms going on and it was pretty impressive. With the ship that close to the city, I could actually see canals and some of the arched pedestrian bridges over them. I wish I’d captured the pictures, but I thought I’d wait for daylight and blue sky. Alas, the ship moved overnight.
