European Highlights: Venice

It was funny as I was wandering about these age old cities, wondering what the streets would have been like in an earlier time. Street stalls, fashion and now the modern equivalent.

Apart from that, I enjoyed being there, in a place completely different to anywhere I have ever been and for me that was enough. More than sufficient, happily enjoying the company of my fellow travellers and time taking photographs.

St Mark's Square, which floods during the day. At around lunch the sea started making it's way through the drains. "Opposite Drains". Odd.
