Italy – Venice (Carnevale)

We wanted to take a break from work and also to celebrate our 7th year together, moreover we heard so much about how Italy is beautiful and amazing that we wanted to see it for ourselves. Our first Destination is Venice and why you might ask? well… its because during this period in Venice, the Italians have a ‘Carnevale’ (carnival) going on with many people wearing all kinds of colourful costumes and mysterious looking masks and we wanted to bask in the atmosphere!
