First time London and Europe: Venezia, June 2nd

There is a first time for everything....

Right? ;-)

So I made it! My first 4 weeks out of the country! I've done it. and it was not so bad! Actually it was AMAZING! Take it from me ... (ok ;-) .... you will not know unless you have tried it yourself. I am so hooked that this will probably become at least an annual expedition ... different countries and different people...

Below is a collection of my first experience on foreign soil, on my own! Dawnting thought .. Nagh... Try it. .. you will experience it for yourself.. The highlight of some of the cool places that I visited and the drama to get there and back. Drama ... well .. ok .. not much drama ... only good memories that totally voided any possibility of unhappiness...

Anyway,
Enjoi!

Finally, Venizia it is ....

Hmm ...

How a whole little 'town' can be superimposed on stilts in the sea is truly amazing ... The buildings sure tell the story of rising and falling waters .. but nether the less .. it is BEAUTIFUL!!! How these wooden stumps remain in good shape is a scientific story on its own ... try Google ... you will be amazed at the awesomeness of mother nature.....

The food .... well ... I am a sucker for Italian cuisine and the food at the little restaurant was like having a professional shef in your own dining room .. just enough space for a few tables ... talk about personal touch!
