Day 3 - VENICE!

The wifi has seemed to gave stabalised enough for a text update...
Another bright and early start this morning for an hour drive over to Venice, despite a few bumps along the way we manged to get there on time. We then went about unloading the equipment onto a boat... this was quite the surreal experience as we saw ten's of thousand's of pounds worth of our equipment go down a conveyer belt meters above the water.
We then went on a boat tour to Murano where we saw a glass blowing demonstration and many of us splashed out on some special Murano glass work.
Taking the boat back to the main island of Venice we were all let loose for some free time before returing to the church for our penultimate gig, the acoustics were simply astonishing for both the Choirs and Orchestra however the long reverb time did not suit the Jazz Bands, however depite this people still enjoyed themselves. Some of us even found time to go outside and dance by the cannal.
Tomorrow is our last full day as well as our final concert, happily we all get a lovely lie in of about 1.5 hours as well as some time to get some revision done!
Ciao
