Ne amintim cu placere de frumoasa excursie facuta impreuna prin Venetia. Astazi am vizitat din nou acest oras, admirand frumoasele imagini de pe pagina voastra. Felicitari si urari de bine din Viena! Gabi | deecat Wed May 4, 2005 06:12 UTC
A solid overview of magical, mystical Venice. You have some great photographs and information is right on target. Enjoyed the restaurant and hotel tips. | socrates_07 Thu Mar 10, 2005 14:19 UTC
Two weeks ago I have been in Venice. Too late to try Filetto d’anatra con salsa al vin santo e arance rosse. Sounds very delicious. Nice page, thanks! | Maurizioago Tue Sep 7, 2004 20:16 UTC
