Venice. What can be said about Venice that hasn’t already been said. Nothing, I suppose, other than that we spent three days wandering around this strange, floating city enjoying the architecture, the improbability of it existing at all and, above all, the hustle and bustle of the people as they get around the narrow streets between campos, piazzas and on the canals. So, since a picture is worth 1,000 words….
