While other travelogues offer romantic images of the Bridge of Sighs, gondolas and the Venetian waterfront, I'm serving up a more irreverant image of Joanna Yeoh (on a bad hair day) standing in front of Basilica San Marco.All I remember is:
- how crowded the piazza was - we had to physically stop other tourists from wandering into our photos
- how smelly the canals were
- how expensive the gondola rides were - definitely not within our meagre student budgets
- how loud the Americans were about the awful pizza - "nothing like Domino's back home" - were the exact words
AND HOW I'D GIVE MY RIGHT ARM TO BE BACK IN VENICE AGAIN!
It's one of the most romantic cities in Europe - need I say more?
