2013 Travels: Venice - Christmas!


Christmas at the floating city, what a way to spend the day! However like most things, there were certainly pros and cons to it. Because it was Christmas, the island was basically dead – giving us free roam without the usual crowds. But next to nothing was open, so finding places to eat / shop were few and far between. I can absolutely see the appeal in visiting Venice. The canals are spectacular (there is no way you can go to Venice without a gondola ride), getting lost in all the alleyways is great, and not to mention St. Mark’s Square. But because of Italy’s currently poor economy, heaps of landmarks are completely cover in advertisements and it’s definitely a scammer’s hotspot. Just be careful.
