Venice

[Lavinda Past]

Or just stay away from places like Venice.

I tend to personally. Watch videos to see the major sights, rent a cheap villa with a pool in the middle of nowhere for long holidays.

And your support of City is limited to watching Sky.

It is nowadays. I finally gave up my season card at the end of last season.

63 years of watching that nonsense... I needed a holiday or three before I shuffle off this mortal coil.

Get a private boat. They meet you at the airport and take you as close to your hotel as you can get. The boats are beautiful sleek wooden varnished jobs and are the perfect way to introduce you to this unique and stunningly beautiful city. If you intend to do Venice once then do this and thank me afterwards. Not cheap but great value in memories.

Great idea. We have been three times and this is, by far, the best way. Also throw your map away. Getting lost in Venice is the best way to see the City - even at night. We always go November - still warm enough to sit outside and eat dinner.

I agree about when to go.
Always go in November and February.
And maps are useless!

While on the gondola Did anyone have the urge to ball out….just one cornetto?

I love visiting the churches in Venice.
My advice if doing museums,churches or art galleries plan well ahead and try to stick to it as best as possible.
You cannot beat a good meal and a couple of drinks after walking about all day in Venice.
Favourite Church.

Tom Selleck did ( or was that a magnum?)

Also if flying in to Venice make sure you have a window seat on the right hand side of the aircraft, much better views on the approach .

Good shout - I was on the right but in the aisle seat. I saw enough to think that it was a spectacular view coming in. Must have been great for the person sat in the window seat.
