Venice, 16-17th September
On my first night in Venice, a neighbouring hotel held a street party outside of my hotel. It included a sit down three course meal, alcohol and a band in the street. My hotel was situated down a random street in Venice (and took a long time to find!). One of the best parts of Venice is getting lost - the majority of the streets look the same and there is no distinct pattern to them. There were many times that I walked down a street only to find it was a dead end! However, no matter how hard I tried, all the paths seem to lead to St Marks Square.
Next to St Marks Basilica is St Marks Clock tower - that you can get a lift to the top of. The view from the clock tower is spectacular - especially when the huge cruise liners appear!
Venice has a truly unique feel to it - no cars and many steps to cross canals! It is truly like no other city I have visited - living up to the hype in all respects!
