Thankyou for sharing this. I have always dreamed of visiting Venice.
Make it happen, regardless of the time of year go. Late fall to early spring are, IMHO, the best times as there are fewer tourists.
THanks for letting me know. I hope to do it withing the next two years. Thanks and happy day.
This is marvelous! It sparks the dream machine.
I will gladly be your tour guide, translator and chauffeur.
Ohhh, the very idea makes me smile. Ridiculously 😬

I’m not sure how I missed this. Venice is one of my most favourite places. I would visit in each season if I could.
