One of a Kind, Venice

Venice is enchanting. There are no cars or trams, no horns or ugly red lights. There are gondolas and water taxis, there are masks and colours and glass blowing, there is water and more water, there are tight alleyways and wide canals, there are smiles. I had goosebumps the whole day, walking into a store filled with magical masks and traditional dresses, turning onto a plaza with a beautiful Cathedral, bumping into an exhibition filled with genius machines designed by Leonardo da Vinci that make me want to walk on water, strolling over the small bridges that connect one neighbourhood to the next, peeking into the famous romantic gondolas.Venice is enchanting...

For people with a really bad sense of direction like me it is comforting to know that all roads lead to Rome, eventually. However this is not the case in the beautiful unique city of Venice. See here roads end with no warning. When you think you might be headed the right way, oops a dead end or oops a canal filled with bright aquamarine water and no bridge to cross it. So getting lost is part of the Venice adventure whether you plan for it or not. Venice is enchanting!
