Venice !

First of all......HAPPY 50th BIRTHDAY DAD FROM ITALY. Wishing we could be in Burnaby with you celebrating your special day. Lots of love.

Venice was our first stop in Italy. This is the first time we parted with our tent and went into a bed and breakfast because there are no campsites in this area.

We spent one day in Venice and that was all we needed. It was neat to walk the narrow, cobble stone streets of this historic city and to explore the findings off the beaten paths. However, if you stick to the popular streets you are swarmed with a completely, overwhelming tourist trap. There was miles and miles of streets vendors selling souvenirs and knock off items.

Once we got away from the main streets we found ourselves on a maze-like adventure. It was incredible to tour around the tiny streets looking at the cities beautiful architecture, traditions and artistry.

Please take a look at the pictures below.
