    • Miscellaneous: If there is any chance of rain, bring an umbrella. Since the umbrella will be turned, twisted and possibly blown away, bring either two or three cheap ones or a good one. I bought the Jack Wolfskin umbrella for hiking, which doesn't mind getting turned or twisted.This is not just good for Venice in rain, of course, but also for any outdoor activity in autumn in Germany.

    Packing Lists: Adaptor may be needed

    • Photo Equipment: When booking the hotel I was told to bring an adaptor. I had stayed in Italy before and had never needed one, but just to be on the safe side I had asked in the Italy forum. The general consensus was no adaptor is needed.
    Well, when I was in the hotel and wanted to recharge my camera, I saw I did need an adaptor after all! Not a transformer, just a sort of in-between- plug. Luckily for me, I was able to get one in the Billa supermarket for about 2 Euro. They only had a few, so in high season I think it's a good idea to bring one from home. It seems that some hotels ( not all) use plugs with three holes and for these you need the adaptor.

     So true - you can't just visit Venice to take a few photos then move on somewhere else. It is a magical place with a unique atmosphere and needs to be savoured and enjoyed.    		aussiedoug Thu Oct 23, 2008 03:59 UTC
