VENICE


Water permanently flooding the streets seems like a nightmare but not in Venice. The second I saw the streets I was overwhelmed. I could feel the enchantment of Venice. I was struck by amazement. The city had captured me completely and engrossed me into its magic. I don’t know whether it was the romanticised lane ways or the boutiques but there was something magical. I found some really beautiful shops around St Mark's Square. The carnivale mask shops surrounding the area are very luxurious consisting of lavish masks with lovely ornamental notions. I particularly loved shopping for jewellery as I found many unique pieces. Murano glass can be purchased almost everywhere but exploring the lanes near St.Marks Square I found many small boutiques that stocked handmade ornamental pieces in various shapes and patterns. Follow the streets leading around the city centre and discover the magic Venice has to offer.
