We’re at Lake Garda in Italy, after spending the last 2 days in Venice. Venice is beautiful, as always, but it was so hot while we were there! We actually left early today because it became unbearable to walk around.


What we liked most about Venice: pretty canals everywhere, water taxis and bus systems, and very impressive architecture. It’s amazing to see such a densely populated city that existed long ago. And it was very photogenic - our favorites are below.


What we liked least about Venice: crowded, expensive. and very touristy! The buses into the main island is always packed and the main streets are super crowded during the day. I remember it being much more quiet when I was there in December last time.

We happened to be around during the Biennale, a contemporary art festival that takes place in Venice every two years. Not sure how ticketing actually works, but we were able to wander around a bunch of the exhibits freely, which was pretty fun. Modern art in Venice is an interesting mix.

Venice is beautiful at night! (and has more comfortable temperatures)

And last but not least, the Grand Canal
