Day 41 - Surprise firework displays

Last night there were lots of small public firework displays all around. Just when you think you've seen it all, at midnight the bay was lit up with the largest display we've ever seen been fired off of a barge in front of a super yacht! Now that is bling!

PS Baz has met a local girl...

FOD:
Most historians put the chinese as the inventors of fireworks, filling bamboo shoots with explosives to scare off attackers. It is thought Marco Polo brought the 'technology' back to Europe and that is why Florence was the 1st major European centre of firework construction in the 1300's
