Another card was waiting for me when I walked up the stairs to my apartment. This one is tricky, the sender is from the UK (thanks Jan), but the subject surely is not!
These are a few shots from inside the Arsenale, part of which was open for the Biennale. It looks forlorn and neglected in many parts. I have been advised to go to the Naval museum to look at old plans which show the various areas and their functions.

Sono un po stanca (I am a bit tired), so I will get back to the foundry tomorrow, I hope.

Hi, Caroline, and welcome. Will you live here permenently? (She said with a sigh.) There are so many good blogs. I have learned a lot from Fausto’s (Allogi Barbaria). He is a true blue Venetian, who loves his city so much. e-venise is another where you can dig into the archives for glimpses into activities in Venice.
Buon Natale!

Hi and thank you, Yvonne. We hope to make it a permanent move, if we can earn enough to live on when our redundancy runs out 🙂 If not in Venice, then maybe somewhere else in Italy.. We are signed up to do a TEFL course here in Edinburgh before we go, so hope to get work doing that. Initially we thought we’d go wherever we could get jobs, but after our last Venice trip in June decided we just really, really want to be there – so we would just go. If that doesn’t pay enough to live on, maybe after a year when our Italian is up to scratch one or both of us (hopefully not me !) could get a job back in IT which is what we are leaving here. But if it doesn’t work out, at the very least we’ll have had a year in Italy !

It is such a huge complex. The city is toying with the idea of buying it from the Navy, to create a marina.
Yes, in Europe, Australia, and probably many other places in the world: 13/12 it would be.

Get some rest dear friend.
I mailed my postcard on 12/13 or should that be 13/12 in Venice?
