Getting Down With The Venetians

It can be said, that there are few places on this planet that harbour the ability to induce serious inspirational thought and feeling. I would rank Venice as one of the top three that certainly can.

Simply wandering about the place makes you feel like you could paint the next masterpiece, write some verse that could score you the position of the next poet laureate or even produce some other form of artistic impression that will be etched into the tablets of historical genius. Perhaps this is it…or is this just a tale of a young Englishman enjoying good food, fantastic wine and the company of a particularly fine young lady in the heart of one of the world’s grandest architectural wonders?
