But there wasn't anything worth documenting in Sacile, so my only holiday photos come from two trips to Venice. It was a joy just to wander the beautiful streets... even if the weather still wasn't all that (as mentioned in my earlier post).
So hello again from Venezia!
We went to visit the amazing Doge's Palace and did the 'Secret Passages' tour, which I highly, highly recommend. It's hard to get on - we had to book days in advance! There were huge queues for it as well, but obviously online booking is for winners. Queuing is for losers.
No photos allowed inside - boo.

We just stood outside everything else, which was more than enough for me.
I hope I get to go back one day soon.
Please excuse my mosquito bites... got mercilessly munched!
Skirt: Nicole Katherine via Pinup Parade

We also loved so much our trip in Venice last October... but weather was also quite strange: sunny and warm one day but windy, cold and rainy the next one!
ReplyDeleteBut the city is so beautiful and out of time, we spent 5 days and didn't feel bored at all...
I wrote a few posts about this trip, one is here: http://lostin1950.blogspot.fr/2013/11/carnival-50s-skirt.html
What beautiful images of the city and you.... I can sympathise with you on the mozzy side of things, the little buggers always manage to leave me with legs looking like a nik nak - v attractive!

Italy is very high up on my list of places to visit, and Venice is a lot of the reason why. It's just such a fascinating city to me; I feel like I've read about it in so many books that it's already familiar, and I would love to see if my idea of it matches the reality at all.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful snaps, and great outfit. That skirt is so perfect for the setting.
Cheers!

It will exceed your expectations :)
DeleteI wrote to the designer regarding my concerns about the size and he was so helpful to me. I will recommend this designer and this beautiful dress to everyone.

Oooh, you lucky thing, you! I've always wanted to go to Venice, those buildings look gorgeous, and so do you, come to that.
ReplyDeleteI don't photograph well, so I'm rather envious of your photogeneity...I always look like a warthog!
It's all about the angles!!
DeleteHappy Mother's day to all the mothers out there! What are y'all doing for Mother's Day? We went to church [ah, yes, I finished my live-in nanny job super early this morning at 12:40am. So I'm back home now.], gave our mom her Mother's Day gift [a new bike], and had lunch at home. Right now Gaby & our mom went for a bike ride and once they come back, me and Gaby will be heading out to go birthday shopping for our sister, Hanne-col [who will be 18 this week]. Not sure what I will be buying her yet,
