5m below ground, Norwich Maymester Student Jessey Heigh inspects the potable water supply line for Venice. This 1.2m diameter pipe is the last stop for water treated in Favaro, Italy, nearly 10km from the city's center. Over 1000Liters-per-second are processed and pumped to the city.
During our tour of the water treatment plant I got a little bit too much sun for my fair Irish skin to handle. After the long hours out in the sun touring the plant then walking into the local Italian town that was untouched by tourism, we stopped to get a bite to eat before hopping on a tram (read: cross between a bus and a train). Once back in Venice, we all stopped once again to get the obligatory gelato before parting ways.
Alex and I went back to our apartment. What was meant to be a siesta nap turned into me being asleep almost until the sun went down. I guess that jet lag finally caught up with me! After waking up, Tyler, Kevin, Oliver, and Roy all came over for another meal. The previous night I had made my fish tacos from a white fish I had picked up from the Rialto fish market that morning. They were a huge hit! Tonight I decided to try my hand at making a Bolognese sauce. Another success, especially for my first attempt! I wonder what I'll decide to make next....
Caprese salad is my vote! I bet the mozzarella there is delightful. I'd love to see pictures of your culinary experiments :)
