Going out for pizza

Tomorrow we go to Italy, as I need pizza.

We may also look at art and architecture, so long as the service is fast enough to give us enough time.

Traveling around Austria with kids has been an odd combination of the extraordinary and the everyday. The Austrian part has been, in the main, extraordinary. The traveling with kids bit has been the everyday part. Getting tha balance right for everyone has been a challenge, but one that we are getting better at. The hotel in St Gilgen had the amazing pool setting, which was great for the kids, and the setting was so spectacular that it kept us happy as well (and the restaurant and bar set up was pretty nice as well).

Tonight we are in a Eurohotel near the airport in Vienna, something of a come down from the Hollweger Hotel, but serves the purpose for one night. Lauren's snoring is the main issue at this point!


We fly into Venice tomorrow morning, and then drive down about an hour to a hamlet called Vanzo. Accommodation there is a villa, and so we hope to have plenty of room for everyone. Justine's best friend from high school in Washington (Jen) and her mum (Pam) fly in 45 mins before we do; and my mum (Fay) a couple of hours later.

Bruce family - loving your blog. I am very taken by the descriptions of architecture, food, art etc etc. It really is everything they say it is in glossy travel books isn't it? I want detail about authentic italian pizza please! Keep the descriptive banter coming, am savouring every word, picturing me in your place. Happy New Year! Kaz
