Venice, Italy
As with every epic adventure, it unfortunately has to come to a stop at some point. In squeezing in Lake Garda & The Dolomites, we reduce Venice down to a day of exploring before getting onto our flight that evening.
Even in the off season, it was bustling on a Saturday — with everybody packing onto the vaporettos to get from landmark to landmark. It was cool to see, but we couldn’t wait to get away from the hordes of people crowding all the bridges.
It was once we found the back alleys and cichetti (thankfully fuelled by recommendations from our airbnb host in Pescheria) — that we really started enjoying the day.

We had the perfect afternoon strolling bouncing between bars and chichetti stalls, standing in the streets with everyone drinking spritz. Once we were suitably full, tipsy and satisfied, we made our way to the airport to head back to London. Arrivederci Italia!
