We visited the incredible place of Venice, once again together. We were here about 20 years ago, for our first holiday away together. It was romantic then, and is still as romantic now.
Venice is a city in north-eastern Italy, sited on a group of 118 small islands separated by canals and linked by bridges It is located in the marshy Venetian Lagoon which stretches along the shoreline, between the mouths of the Po and the Piave Rivers. Venice is renowned for the beauty of its setting, its architecture and its artworks. The city, in its entirety, is listed as a World Heritage Site, along with its lagoon. A must see on everyone’s “bucket list”.
It was here in Venice, on our first visit, that Mal met my Mum and Dad for the first time nearly 20 years ago. With its narrow lanes, continual bars, restaurants, no cars, interesting shops (I could fill 10 suitcases….I wish ) it is a place to be seen to be believed !
We rented an apartment for a week around the corner from San Marco Piazza with the intent of cooking a few of our own meals…no such thing, the restaurants were too inviting. We also enjoyed a day out visiting the famous Murano Island and it’s glassblowers. That proved a bit costly !!!! All in all, we have absolutely loved Venice , and fallen in love with its beauty again.
