Odd Job Italiano: Frank's best day so far.. the Biennale Venezia 2015

Wednesday 7th Oct

Train into Venice only took 30 minutes, but of course the Biennale ticket office not open til 10am! Really what did we expect? Anyway going on the day, ie not having booked a music or drama performance, all that is available is the art side in Gardens and the Arsenale, but most of that is on the modern out-there side ie mostly installation art, not really my thing and definitely not Frank's - how would you describe it, say a cross between a dulux blank wall paint color display and an expression of a 1960's psychedelic drugcrazed nightmare. The expression on some peoples' faces as they looked in was priceless. Really good for people watching.
A couple of the countries exhibitions were OK - Australia was not the worst, Japan was OK. Anyway footsore and weary, we saw it!
In general Venice looking the same, but even this late in the year the crowds are horrendous..... so the few other bits and pieces I had on my list... forget it, so ended up getting back to our hotel about 5.
After last night fiasco, found a pizzeria further down the road... when I checked on Tripadvisor, the Osteria we dined at last night had 3 and a half out of 5, with a lot of the comments along the same lines as our impressions. The pizzeria had 4 and a half. We had a great pizza (and Frank got his red beer... which he has taken to over here) Frank is hauling me up on that comment as I quite liked the red beer also, but as I pointed out to him I have taken to the prosecco more!) The prosecco here is really nice, light, not overly bubbly....and cheap.. for example in the bar in this Arsiero hotel it is 2.2 euro... no wonder all the road workers take to it!
