Europe's kinky over-the-knee boot has it all: popes, painters, polenta,
paramours, poets, political puerility and potentates. Its dreamy light
and sumptuous landscapes seem made for romance, and its three millennia
of history, culture and cuisine seduces just about everyone. You can visit Roman ruins, gawk at Renaissance art, stay in tiny medieval hill towns, go skiing in the Alps, explore the canals of Venice and gaze at beautiful churches. Naturally you can also indulge in the pleasures of la dolce vita: good food, good wine and improving your wardrobe Take time to meander - losing yourself in the maze of canals and lanes is one of Venice's principal pleasures. The cluster of sights around the Piazza San Marco are heart-clutchingly beautiful, but the more secret pleasures of the hushed backstreets are just as entrancing.
The Rally being at Cavalino, the best way to go to Venice was by bus, then by “vaporeto”, a local boat.
