L'Isola del Sole

I don't know where this week has gone! It's taken me all week to get round to posting about our mini-moon in the North of Italy. We stayed in a hotel in Grado which is in the north eastern region, Fruili-Venezia Giulia, not far from the border with Slovenia. Grado, or L'Isola del Sole (Sunny Island), as it's known, is a lovely seaside town in the centre of a lagoon on the Adriatic Coast. We spent a lovely day exploring the old town, walking along the beach and eating sea food.

I love taking pictures of windows!

Lanterns inside the church

This room of the church was under water.

The most common way to get around in Grado is by bike..........

........or by boat!

an interesting quote on a blackboard outside a bar. It says,

'The worst prison is the one we create for ourselves"

I loved the bright sunny yellow of these beach huts.

After a lot of walking we definately deserved this tasty pot of mussels and a few glasses of the local wine.

Tomorrow I'll be back with pictures from Venice (the few we managed to take before our camera ran out of battery - school boy error!)
