A trip to Venice, the one in Florida

As many people are aware with so many immigrants in the USA from all over Europe, plus of course other places, many of the places here have European town names. So just near us in Venice and and also Naples and it was Venice that we decided to visit.

The sun was shining and the temperature is rising again after a rather chilly bout and by the time we left at about 11.30 the temp was about 18 C and due to rise to possibly 21 or 22, now that's what we want. We headed north to Venice and it took about 35 minutes as the roads are very good in Florida and so far never blocked like the M25 and we arrived in Venice and drove around for a while and parked by the sea front which was not really inspiring and so we went to the old Historic part of town, and walked around there for a while. There were a number of restaurant on the road but many virtually empty except one big place with the usual loads of TV screens showing American football and the like but the tables were quite busy and so we opted for there.

So we ordered the coconut shrimps for a starter to share and the the mixed seafood grill, and it was really excellent and the amount of food they give you on a plate is quite ridiculous and we shall remember in future to share both the starter and the main course as neither of us could finish of all the food on the plate. So after letting the food go down and understanding that restaurant prices here seem to be about 15% higher than we are staying whilst the recommended  tip is anywhere from 18% to 22%, at least 2% higher than near us, Venice is expensive place to live and very popular.
We continued with some walking after lunch and then as the sun was nice and warm, showing 22C on the car temp gauge we opted for returning home and sitting on the patio next to the pool.
About two hours after the meal it looks like either the coconut or there might have been some garlic on the seafood so it caused Noel a few problems for about an hour, what a shame as the food was excellent.
We shall an evening of TV from our new Amazon TV Fire Stick where we can also get films of Netflix and so the choice of what to see is endless.
Tomorrow is a not much more than shopping and cleaning, how exciting can life get?
