Venice in October

 Way back in October Hubby and I went to Venice for four nights. We had the most wonderful trip with delicious food, delightful walks, inspiring art and good company. Our lovely friend Michela met us for a drink on our first evening and took us to see some must see places then she continued to guide us around this magical city via WhatsApp for the rest of our stay. Here are just a few of the many many photos I took....and they don't seem to be in any correct chronological order, still they bring back lots of lovely memories.













 Michela took us to this fantastic book shop....books and cats....perfect!

























 A trip to Murano....


 A Bellini at Harry's Bar....






 A trip to the colourful island of Burano.....























 one of our favourite places was the Peggy Guggenheim Collection
















Such a beautiful place, we were blessed with glorious weather but three weeks later this stunning city was hit by a terrible storm and the flood waters were the worst they had been for hundreds of years, we were saddened to see on the news the sight of it in such a terrible way.
