Two Days in Venice - Itinerary


Sometimes it doesn’t always go as planned…

So I am going to be completely honest with you all – I was 100% distracted when I was in Venice. I don’t remember any good places to eat, any specific spots that you can’t miss, why you should take a gondola ride, or anything really, because my mind was elsewhere while I spent two days in Venice last summer. I was dealing with a family emergency from 4,000 miles away and I was helpless in the situation. Although I was physically in Venice, mentally I was elsewhere. And my parents encouraged me to finish out my trip before returning home to deal with things, so it was two days in Venice, then three in Rome, and one full day of travel before I was even back home. My biggest distraction when I’m dealing with things is to take photos, which is why I love it so much. I took some, but even that was a bit hard to do because of my situation. So I don’t have much to say specifically about Venice, so I hope you enjoy these photos. For a more complete guide on the city, here’s a post with the best things to do in Venice.
  • Where we stayed: The Westin Europa & Regina, Venice, Italy (and they upgraded us to a suite overlooking the GC!)
  • How long we were there: Two nights
  • Where we spent most of our time: Our hotel was a two minute walk from the Square, aka Piazza San Marco, aka St. Mark’s Square. We spent the majority of our time on this side of Venice and didn’t go too far towards the north side.
  • What would I have done differently: Of course I would have explored more, but the one thing I am bummed we didn’t get to do is to go to the nearby island of Burano because it’s the most colorful place on this planet and if you know me, you know I love colorful photography – it’s a dream come true for it.
Exploring the piazzas in Venice is a real treat! Right here was one of my favorites. While my trip to Venice didn’t go quite as planned, I still enjoyed the gorgeous architecture. On this post, I share a few tips on Venice and the things I wish I’d done differently!
It’s no secret that one of the best things to do in Venice is riding a gondola, but doing it right before sunset is even more special! #Venice #Italy #Photography

Photography of Venice: The oceanfront part of Venice is as stunning as its smaller canals, and having a drink here or trying out some of the restaurants in the area are two of the best things to do in Venice if you love people-watching!

Final recommendations: Definitely visit Venice if you can. I believe 2-3 days is sufficient to see the area. Make sure to add one additional day (your third day would be best) if you want to take a boat over to Burano to spend the day. Still kicking myself about not doing it! Ultimately, life happens, and sometimes it happens while you’re on the most dreamy vacations. I wish I could say I enjoyed Venice but I just had too much on my mind to really take advantage of this beautiful place. For the past year I said I’d never go back because I have a bad memory associated with it. But I have gotten past that and I’d like to visit it again – but mainly so I can go see Burano!  
If you’ve been, I’d love to hear your favorite things about Venice in the comments below and if you’re in the planning stages of your trip to Italy, make sure to check out this Italy itinerary for first-timers!

10 Best Places to Visit in France – Outside of Paris!

Gambar
  To know France is to love France. But how do you get to know a country as intricate as France? From the German-influence infiltrating the eastern border, to the Mediterranean flavour of the French Riviera, and the idyllic islands at a tickling distance of the country’s western shores, France is as complex as it is compelling. And while most people who visit France land in Paris, you’d be doing yourself a disservice if you ventured no further than the world’s favourite capital. Sure, spend a few days eyeing up the Iron Lady, sipping café noir in a quintessential curbside bistro, and learning the art of flaneur … But then drive, train or bus to another corner of l’hexagone to discover another world. One that is sure to seduce you with its intoxicating charm and universally appealing lifestyle. As an expat who has been won over by the diverse nature of France’s landscapes, I’m sharing some of my recommendations for the best places to go in France, besides Paris … Map of the to...

Best Things to do in Iceland in Winter

If you want to visit Iceland in the winter there are so many things you can do and see! Iceland in winter is surprisingly not as cold as you would think. The location just south of the Arctic Circle would make anyone believe that the winters are unbearable. And yes, they were cold. But in December it was in the 30’s and low 40’s which I consider to be pretty mild. As long as you wear layers and lots of warm, waterproof clothes the weather shouldn’t be a problem. 1. Visit The Black Sand Beach In Vik Iceland Visiting the black sand beach in Vik is definitely a must in the winter in Iceland. The sand is crushed lava rock formed when it reaches the frigid ocean. A beautiful beach to visit, but not where I chose to sun tan. Half way down the beach is a large vaulted cavern called Hálsanefeshellir (obviously really easy to pronounce). Read more on Vik Iceland 2. Visit A Volcano Iceland has about 130 volcanoes on the island. This is incredible to consider when you realize that Iceland...
