After a brief stop in Verona, we travelled onwards on our way to Shakespeare's other contemporary Italian city - Venice.
We arrived in Venice as the sun was setting, so after settling in to our hotel, we headed out as a group to a nearby restaurant for my birthday. Oh yeah, it was my birthday. Did I forget to mention that?
