Italy – Venice
Let me start with saying that I am still in love with England and Europe in general, but Italy, ABSOLUTELY takes the cake. It was amazing. I actually am returning once I get back to England from visiting home.
It was sunny, warm, and gorgeous the ENTIRE time I was there. I literally sat out in the sun for hours. And for someone who has been living in gloomy England, that was heaven.
We spent two days in downtown Vicenza (next blog post) and one full day in Venice (about an hour from where I was staying with Molly). Venice was spectacular. The details on the buildings there really made the day for me, I am a HUGE fan of old buildings. Their beauty comes from their age, coloring, and intense details in my opinion and Venice is FILLED with beauty.
We had lunch overlooking the river shortly after you enter Venice (old area) at a wonderful restaurant where I had my first experience with Italian pizza. It. Is. Amazing. They are of course known for their pasta and pizza, and let me tell you, they do NOT disappoint.
We sat outside and listened to a live band playing Italian music in St. Marks Piazza. I can’t even express how magical it seemed.
Overall, Venice was an incredible experience that I wish everyone could have. I cannot say enough good things about Italy as a whole, but especially Venice. I can’t wait to go back!
XOXO
