When they got to Venice, James’ Dad’s cousin Riccardo was there to meet them. Riccardo took them back to where he lived and they liked the place.

It was dinner time when they got to Riccardo’s house. Riccardo cooked lasagne for dinner.

The next morning, they woke up and decided to take a boat to the  Doge’s Palace. When they finished at the palace, it was time for lunch. So they went to the Palace cafe and it was very expensive.

After that they went back to Riccardo’s house and then they went up to their room. They were unloading their stuff when Riccardo said it was dinner time. They came down to eat, and he said they were going to go out to a restaurant. At the restaurant, when they ordered the food, James’ Dad ordered roasted duck. And when they came with his food, he got rabbit instead!

When they finished dinner, they caught a gondola back to Riccardo’s house.

In the morning, they went down to have breakfast, and Riccardo had already made breakfast. After breakfast they caught the one-hour gondola ride.

Then after that they went and had lunch in a very very very very very very very very very very American restaurant.

After lunch, they got in their car and went to the airport, and dropped off the rental car, because they were flying from Venice to Paris.

When they got on the plane, they sat down and then the plane took off.
