It's been a bit of a tough time for the travel blogging industry, so we better make the most of the little things, like three days in Venice.

Venice, Venice — what is there to say? It's very refreshing and unexpected to see a city made up of tiny alleyways and completely free of cars. On some level, I knew that Venice doesn't really have roads, but what that means didn't fully sink in until I saw it in person.

So, yeah — it's a vision of a slightly different world. And where else can you sit on your balcony above the canal, eating a croissant, sipping some peach juice and just watch all the different boats go by?
Fridge boat, chair boat, post boat, trash boat, drink boat, wood boat, you name it. It's pretty cool.
