A couple of weeks ago we took a well earned break, taking the train from Bangor all the way to Venice. We flew back refreshed, a few days later.
Here's a photo of one of the many bridges, taken just before we left Venice ...
As with many of the Venetian bridges, it was always packed with tourists.
Two days later, having arrived back home, a very important event took place there - George Clooney's wedding. Here he is with his bride-to-be Amal Alamuddin at that very same bridge (NOT my photo!!)
Note the empty bridge! He clearly has the power to clear Venice of tourists!!
Now was our visit bad timing on our/his behalf? Or maybe it was good timing???
The best part of the holiday was being on the train when an Asian lady told me I had a lovely tan. She thought I had been somewhere exotic. To the amusement of fellow passengers, I was able to tell her that it was a home-grown tan from North Wales!!
