So about 2 days before this trip, Lucy Lu and I very nearly cancelled because the city had experienced some of the worst floods in years and if you haven't guessed by now... I'm NOT a wellie and rain coat kind of gal! Nonetheless we risked it and thank God we did because the weather was unreal. Just cold enough for a faux fur but sunny enough for the new shades, ideal sitch. So if you find yourself heading to Venice anytime soon, here are a few little tips to get you on your way.
1. Potter About
This was probably the first trip where we didn't really plan ahead what we were going to do, instead we just walked around and continuously stumbled across the most amazing locations, including Saint Marks Square, Rialto bridge and plenty of adorable little shops, including a Sephora (most importantly).
2. EAT!
I can't remember anywhere we've been and not eaten our way through it frankly but when in Italy, things are SERIOUS. We hit the pastry shops for breakfast and had a little picnic watching the Gondolas go by, I mean we were covered in icing sugar for the rest of the day but that's a small sacrifice to make.
3. Ride a Gondola
This activity is a little more expensive but it's just something you have to do if you're there! You'll see the city from a unique perspective and please name a more Queen-like activity than having a handsome young man row you about while you lie back and chill.
