This New Year saw my family headed to work off the Christmas excess by exploring the streets of the beautiful city of Venice, Italy. Although we have been previously, a place like Venice never loses its charm and there were plenty of new places to discover as well as old favourites to visit…
The tiny island of Burano in the Venetian lagoon, where all the houses are brightly painted.
The view over Venice from the top of the Campanile in St. Mark’s Square.
Sitting in the sun, eating amazing Italian pizza, watching the gondolas go by…
A view down the bustling Grand Canal from the top of the Rialto Bridge.
And now for some food…
Amazing works of pasta art!
More food art, in the form of marzipan fruits.
Nutty, sticky, chewy Torrone.
A whole host of delicious goods spied through a bakery window :)

Now that's the way to spend new year! It's great to see the city in all its seasons.
Find any nice restaurants? Always after new ones.
I got some of the blue curacao pasta once & served with white chocolate sauce - interesting dessert....
Hopefully will be back there later this year for the biennale. Happy days.
