Venice

As mentioned before, we spent some days in Venice before heading back to Finland. The next blog posts will be a lot about Venice, many photos, nice places, food and drink, activities, training etc. We start with just an introduction of Venice and some hints of what we did.

Som jag nämnt tidigare tillbringade vi några dagar i Venedig innan vi åkte tillbaka till Finland. De följande blogginläggen kommer att om Venedig; många foton, trevliga platser, mat och dryck, aktiviteter, träning etc. Vi börjar med en introduktion om Venedig och några fingervisningar om vad vi gjorde.

Venice is a town in northeastern Italy built on 118 islands separated by canals that are crossed by an enormous amount of bridges. The islands are situated in Venice lagoon and since 1987 the town and the lagoon are World Heritage Sites. The cool thing about Venice is that it is so unique, and that everything that normally happens on roads and streets happens on water and canals instead. We have been here several times and like the uniqueness and the fact that it is surrounded by the sea.

Venedig är en stad i nordöstra Italien byggd på 118 öar separerade av kanaler som i sin tur korsas av en enorm mängd broar. Öarna ligger i Venediglagunen och sedan 1987 räknas staden och lagunen som världsarv. Det coola med Venedig är att det är så unikt och att allt som normalt sker på vägar och gator sker på vatten och kanaler istället. Vi har varit här flera gånger och gillar att platsen är så unik och det faktum att Venedig omges av vatten.

The normal everyday life takes place on the canals to a great extent

Fruit and vegetables market

Delivery of wine boxes and vegetables

The ambulance

And this is some things that we did during our days ...

Just enjoyed the many cute canals, this one outside our window

Combined afternoon coffee with work

Checked out the playgrounds in Venice

Walked and strolled a lot

Good training to walk around in Venice with a stroller. I don't know over how many bridges we lifted the stroller, but it was quite a few:) But we could almost have visited Venice without the stroller, because Chiara was really so good at walking by herself. Lots of kilometers everyday was taken.

Drank some nice drinks and ate great food

Enjoyed being almost alone on the morning runs

Had a lovely trip onboard one of the beautiful taxi boats
