What to do in Venice, Italy

A visit to this glorious city will guarantee you unforgettable images of distinct bridges arching over tiny canals, lovers on fancy gondolas serenaded by their gondolier, the city’s architecture as a backdrop, the eerie alleyways you feel thankful if it gets crowded. It is a city that everyone should visit at least once in their life time!

Here is a rundown of what you can do in Venice for 3 days.

Streets of Nice (And Confessions Of A Blogger Wannabe)

One of the reasons why I started this blog, was to share travel tips, itineraries, experiences and travel photos with the hopes of inspiring and helping first timers to Europe plan out their trip. Which I am still aspiring to be able to fulfil in the future.
Because I am having a ‘writer’s block’ at the moment (though I have never been a writer to begin with) on how to write how to and what to blog entries, I have decided to start a series of ‘Photo Diary’ to be able to share our photos minus the pressure of a real write up.

Birthdays and Picnics at The Lindenderry

The Lindenderry at Red Hill is just an hour’s drive from Melbourne. Located in the hinterland of the most charming Mornington Peninsula. The moment you drive into the estate and look on the left side, you will be greeted with a dreamy view of the estate, which instantly transports you a world away. The carefully cultured grapevines, rows of perfect cone shaped pine trees and rose bushes that leads to the hotel’s entrance gives you that European country side feel.
