MOONRAKER ON LOCATION (2)
This location is one of the rarest there is! It's the monastery from Moonraker (Q's headquarters) , but today it's very difficult to find and it's forbidden to get in as it's still used and like Fort Knox , almost impossible to get in! But i've told the monks I was writing a book on 007 and finally they've let me in after one hour of negociations...(location: Venice Lido Island)
ON LOCATION 007 " MOONRAKER "
This is the first part of many locations i've visited during the last years.
Here i'm in front of the Venini shop in the heart of Venice San Marco with my lovely daughter Chabelita. This location was used in " Moonraker " when Roger Moore as James Bond 007 walked in this store to have more information on Hugo Drax (Michael Lonsdale)..
