A Day Trip To Venice

In the lead up to our trip to Europe Tess and I heard a lot about Venice. And it's not surprising really as these days Venice is visited by on average 50,000 tourists, per day. So it's busy and there are shops everywhere selling everything you would expect to bring home from a trip to Italy, leather bags, scarves, shoes, pasta, there was was even a store full of Italian souvenirs for your pet.
However despite all this I still found Venice to be charming and was glad to have visited.

Hello again, 

I am so sorry it has been so long since my last post. This last month, I seemed to attract any bug or virus that came my way. 

Instead of cooking, I spent lots of time getting to know my pillow, my hot water bottle and my local GP. And now that I am feeling slightly better, I have found myself amongst a thousand university lectures and readings that I must catch up on before my exams next week. 

However, in the time, since we last spoke, one very exciting thing did happened. 

The boy and I bought two aeroplane tickets to travel to Europe at the end of this year. I can hardly believe we are really going in just 6 months. 


In order to prepare myself I have been reading up on some lovely blogs including Jordon Ferney's Oh Happy Day where I found these beautiful pics of a Parisian bakery/cafe.

And now, when I really should be studying, all I can do is sit here, staring out my window and

... dreaming of Paris.
