Venice

St Marks is always a special place, regardless of the season, or the time of day. In winter it is less crowded. Bloody freezing but worth it to see scenes such as this.

Ponte dei Pugni

One of my favourite bridges in Venice. It doesn't look much but it is steeped in history. This is the scene of many a punch up between rival gangs of the city. Four footprints on the bridge indicate the corners used by the boxers. The idea was that each side were represented by their two champions. Each taking a corner and then it was a free for all punch up. The watching crowd normally getting sucked into the action.

Spritz.

The famous apertif of Veneto taken in a cracking little bar somewhere near Rialto. Have a wander down one of the side streets and you might find it!
