I was wrong.

The arch of Septimus Severus at the roman ruins of Leptis Magna, Libya (by Krefey).
May I gasp for a moment over this architecture: what the hell are those columns supporting? Invisible pediment? Non continuous gable? Wtf!

The Canal Grande is busy with different rowing boats preparing for the Voga Longa tomorrow: the serious and elegant English rowing boats and the small kayaks like ducks on a lake.
In our entrance hall, the long venetian remi are waiting for their big day.

‘It’s like when you come off a ride at the CNE’: Chris Hadfield describes the hard return to gravity
Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield says his body feels confused and banged-up by the effects of gravity after a five-month stay in space.
After floating around weightlessly for months, suddenly, he needs to keep his own head aloft. He feels dizzy. And because there are no callouses on his feet anymore, he says, he feels like he’s walking on hot coals.
A first trip to the gym was excruciating, he says, because it felt like two people had jumped on him when he was trying to do a situp.
”My neck is sore and my back is sore,” Hadfield told a news conference from Houston on Thursday.
”It feels like I played a hard game of rugby yesterday or played full-contact hockey yesterday and I haven’t played in a while.” (THE CANADIAN PRESS/AP, Mikhail Metzel)
Welcome back on earth!

In Venice, only a few are so lucky to have a key that opens a door to a place they can call their “home”.
Even fewer enjoy the privilege to be able to experience the city the way was built for: from the low viewpoint of a silently gliding boat.
But only the fewest know the feeling of living at a palazzo with a water entrance and a barca to your free disposal there - and to be able to manage it yourself!
The sleeping city passed by in silence like a dream, when we steered through the empty channels, breaking their perfect surfaces and trying not to fishtail to much when faced with the sparse late boat traffic.
After getting the caorlina (last post), we took the time to see some of the many abandoned island of the Laguna: Poveglia with its jungle like forests, and the depressingly desolate Santo Spirito.
I was highly impressed by the experience, that at some points the Laguna is so shallow, that you can walk on the ground in the middle of the nowhere - though it makes rowing without touching the ground difficult.
After the solitude of the open Laguna (see last post), it was quite a shock to re-enter the city: having to pass the Canale della Giudecca and with its high waves and big ships, and not to get lost on the crowded Canal Grande afterwards. The break at the Bottegon was really welcome, and the cichetti tasted even more wonderful after this intensive morning.
