Here we are in Venice. I know it sounds bizarre, but this was my first time here. I spent 20 years living in Turin, only 4 hours by train, and I never took the chance to visit this astonishing city. Ok, I've been to the Venetian, in Las Vegas...but I don't think it counts.
We rented a nice apartment in Dorsoduro, facing La Giudecca: the second terrace on the roof had a spectacular view on all the city. The owner, Sebastiano, is an Italian journalist that works in Warsaw. We found the ads on sabbatical homes and it worked great. Don't go there if you are a 5 star hotel lover, but if you like to have a relaxing breakfast in your pj at 9 am and to come home after walking all day and relax on the sofa, have a nice dinner at home ....well, you get the idea! Of course we went to visit la Basilica, il Campanile, Murano, Burano and Torcello. Josh had a blast when we took him to the Historical Marine Museum, with all the models of the ancient and new boats! This was one of the highlights of our time in Venice. Thank you Giorgio and Gheghi for this adventure!
