“Stop being afraid of what could go wrong, and start being excited of what could go right” – Tony Robbins
First time I visited it I was around a 10 year old boy, when my father that was a bus driver took me with him on a journey around Venice, it was an amazing feeling to visit a new place, but I was a bit too young to catch everything as most of the stuff I remember were special masks, bridges, sea, tourists and the drive with a bus there and back home.
Last week I had another chance to go visit it work related. My director said if I want, I can leave early to go visit the old city of Venice and later in the evening pick up someone at the airport, ofcourse I did!
One of the best features about our sLOVEnia is that it's a tiny country and everything is really close. I started at 10am and parked in the old part of Venice in it's parking spot at around 13pm, where I left the car and went on a walkaround for almost 4 hours, till the time of colegues arrival time came close.
Started without a plan or a guide lines, the forecast for the weather wasn't good, but I was fortunate enough that it hold up without a raindrop till I arrived at the airport. The city is magical at it's presence, it's different from any other city I ever visited as it's really almost like "floating" on the water, connected with bridges where you don't see any other motor vehicle, but the boats.
First I went where there weren't many tourists, after over half an hour of walking I started using mr. Google to get to the tourist locations. Felt like a labyrint as everyhing started looking familiar and ended up walking in circles, till I found "the Grand canal". Then I knew I'm on the right path, got to the edge of the city to have a view to the sea.
It's a very old city and the architecture shows it with beautiful lines, bridges and the amount of lion scolptures you see everywhere. You know right away that it was build many, many years ago, nothing like we see in modern day today.
Venice and Italy had fought with many plagues, Spanish flue and simular today, with masks, doctors wore these
This part was the first one, the one I wondered threw unknown part of the city to me, it was filled with grafitti, but eventually found my way to the grand canal, where I found the tourist paths. It was amazing to see it's beauty all over again, it really is something special.
I hope you enjoyed 'walking' with me, getting lost, reaching a few deadends and hopefully saw something new, interesting as well.
Thank you for stopping by, I wish you a good day and a good life.
