La Serenissima: 24 hours in Venice
“I saw from out the wave of her structures rise / As from the stroke of the enchanter’s wand”
I have yet to visit every city in the world, but I have no compunction whatsoever in declaring Venice the most beautiful of them all. Here’s a little taster of what 24-hours in Venice looks like, as long as you don’t count the meetings, that is…
1300h Speeding towards The Cipriani
1900h A passion fruit cocktail on The Cipriani’s terrace
2000h Sunset at The Cipriani Dock
2100h The moon resplendent over the lagoon
0900h Breakfast with a view
1000h A tour of The Cipriani’s kitchen garden
1100h Attempting to hide among the grape vines in The Cipriani gardens (I don’t want to go home)
1300h Off the beaten track: a quiet back street in Venice
1310h A gondola floats by…
1330h Drooling over biscotti at Fuori Menu
1340h Buying a souvenir from Italy: Parmigiano Reggiano

I think 24 hours is just about right for Venice this time of year–too many people. On the other hand, there’s something sublime about just finding a spot in the Piazza San Marco and watching everyone parade by, then go into some little snack place for a glass of wine and small plate of baby octopus. Beautiful city! Ken
Ooh I’m with you on the wine and octopus! Salute!
