Venice

This New Year saw my family headed to work off the Christmas excess by exploring the streets of the beautiful city of Venice, Italy. Although we have been previously, a place like Venice never loses its charm and there were plenty of new places to discover as well as old favourites to visit…IMG-20101228-00050 The tiny island of Burano in the Venetian lagoon, where all the houses are brightly painted.

And now for some food…
