Venice

Morning Everyone! 

This weeks travel post is all about Venice! We travelled to the floating city in September last year and had the most wonderful time.  Venice is not only visually stunning, but is filled with a vibrant culture, fascinating history and some damm good food! So here is our Venice trip! 

We arrived into the city via boat, which I think is a beautiful way to enter. It also allows you to gage a better sense of where you are. If you have been to venice you will know it is a total maze,(with 118 small islands all connected by bridges) so having so sense of direction from the get go is a great start. 

What a gorgeous way to arrive in a new city after a long flight! 

A walk through Piazza San Marco is a must. The architecture is truly breath taking! 

We visited Venice in late September and it was wonderful. There where few tourists and the weather was great! As you can probably guess Venice floods pretty easily (being a group of islands and all) so rain can make Venice pretty miserable. Luckily we experienced nothing but sunshine this trip and it was warm enough to not need a jacket! Perfect traveling weather! 

 The top of Il Padrone Bell Tower. I mean seriously look at that view!

We took a mandatory tourist Gondola ride through the city and where lucky enough to have a gondolier who was very insightful about the cities history and geography. 

Last but not least - Food! My goodness Venice certainly delivers on the food front! From Pasta to Pizza to Gelato Venice has it all! I swear I would move to Italy just for the food alone. 

Overall I fell head over heels for Venice and know you will as well! 

Have a beautiful day and see you all tomorrow for Well-read Wednesdays!
