  • Should you be caught in a FLOOD here in Venice (and believe me, it does happen), please DO NOT REMOVE your shoes and walk barefooted even though you may see others doing so.

    The floodwater contains saline. So the minute you reach dry land, please (please!) wash your feet and shoes under PLENTY of fresh running water. Otherwise you'll live to regret it.

    Sorry... no pics of a flooded Venice.

  • As always, be careful of pickpockets and gypsy children operating in and around the places of interest here in Venice.

    Even if you were to wear a waist pouch, it doesn't mean you're safe from the preying eyes and hands of these pickpockets! I know of a friend who had his waistpouch belt slashed by a professional pickpocket here....

     Harry's sounds pricey, but we will have to at least get a bellini! Thanks for a great tip and detail!

     I especially like the tip about staying in a slightly off the beaten path hotel and walking home late at night with the sounds of the waters . . . great page, Krystynn!

     Now that you live in Milan, those incredibly rakish Italian men would be ACTUAL Armani models :)
