We arrived with sunshine, blue skies and 8 degrees yesterday. My three day trip started in Glasgow where I had the best anti pasti ever. Know Jamie Oliver? He has his own restaurant, make sure to pay a visit when you're in the UK! Anyway, also did a little bit of shopping... which wasn't planned, but when I noticed the huge Primark they have over there, I couldn't resist.
Yesterday we arrived around noon in Venice. Like I said before, beautiful weather. And so 80% of my pictures turned out to be almost perfect (to me at least). We strolled around, all the way from the trainstation via the rialto bridge to the San Marco square. With some little pitstops every now and then for the necessary antipasti and red wine. And when we reached San Marco, it was all covered in a thick layer of fog. Was strange to see and it turned out to be pretty cold. But the day was amazing, we had a lot of fun and when we got back at the hotel (which is located in a village close to Venice) we had the best pizza ever. I took lots of pictures, enjoy!
A cold and rainy saturday afternoon in Venice, Italy. The city was pretty much empty, I think everybody stayed inside. I went together with the co-pilot, who wasn't afraid of the rain. There is nothing which I hate more than spending a complete day in my hotel room without seeing any daylight. I always need to go outside, rain or no rain. So the co-pilot joined me and we spent the afternoon at a christmas market and an Irish pub in Venice, close to the rialto bridge. At six we took the boat bus back to the central station and somewhere around 7.30PM we were back at the hotel. We got ourselves a lovely pizza and had a very nice diner in the room. Such a lovely day, despite of the rain. Venice is just so pretty!

When the sun can't break through the clouds in The Netherlands, why not go to Italy? Guaranteed sun, at least, most of the times. So I had my last stop in Venice {our hotel is located in a small village just outside Venice} and had not enough time to catch the train to the city center. So I decided to stay close to the hotel, and enjoyed the sun. I'm wearing my favorite poncho from H&M {note to self: don't wear it over a faux leather jacket, it will fall off!}. I'm flying right now actually, well, I'm blogging from my hotel room in Trondheim. I wasn't able to take some pretty pictures over here, but will make some in Marseille tomorrow, promise!

Remember my first post about my trip to Venice? At that time, we went by foot. And a couple of days ago, we rented a boat, to see the city from a different point of view. And some good news: the boat wasn't really expensive: 25 euro's for an hour, and we were with the 4 of us. So do some calculating yourself and see: it's cheap!
Venice is such an amazing city! Italy sure is one of my favorite places to go to, and I'm always happy to see Bologna or Venice on my roster. Unfortunately, we only fly and nightstop in Venice during the winter season. Which makes this destination also hard to request, since everybody wants to go to Venice. But I got lucky, twice! And this time was just as special as my previous time. And again, the sun was shining all day.
On my pictures you can see the famous San Marco square, the rialto bridge and some typical italian sights. I love Italy: the food, the people, the weather, everything!
I shot these pictures with my Canon EOS 1000D 50mm f1.8 lens and my panasonic lumix pocket camera
