Niamh had a big birthday, so we packed ourselves off to Venice for a long weekend. I decided to put this into one super-blog, rather than split it up. I hope you enjoy the format. Admittedly, I have a little to learn about being able to speak to the camera as a 'friend', but I'll get there.

Below is a list of facilities and restaurants we visited!
