Bella Venezia


Apparently I forgot to write about one of the coolest places I’ve ever been to… Venice (Venezia)!!

On February 11th, me and my large posse of peeps from the UK and Ireland took the train to Venice for Carnevale. Fortunately, we got to meet up again with Megs and Laura and tour the city. Even wearing 2 pairs of pants, 3 sweaters, a hat and snood (scarf/hood), I was still cursing the weather. Since you’re basically surrounded by water at all times, -1 feels like -20!! After paying an arm and a leg for a hot chocolate (6 euros), I was completely grateful for the reasonably low prices of Verona :)

Since the weather was absolutely merda… I didn’t bother bringing my good camera to take pictures since I knew I’d be back during flip-flop weather. So here are some pictures of the day! Sorry for the terrible quality!

Grand Canale in Venice
Venetian Masks... the best ones were inside where photography was prohibited!

Yes it was amazing...but in Verona it's only 2.50!!
Mulled Red Wine Fountain- 2 euros/glass
Caffe Florian est. 1720 (Piazza San Marco).. the Team Room where Casanova, Goethe, Dickens, and Lord Byron all frequented!!!
