The sights were breathtaking, the air was filled with love, and just for a few minutes it let us imagine what the city looked like in an earlier era.

When in Venice the most iconic experience has to be a ride in a gondola. Nowadays, such a touristy thing to do but that definitely doesn't stop me from an experience I've waited for such a long time. Although the gondola's were used in the 17th and 18th century as transportation of people and goods, today they are mostly here to fulfill our tourist needs.

The 30-minute ride was just like I expected it to be, the sights were breathtaking, the air was filled with love, and just for a few minutes it let us imagine what the city looked like in an earlier era. With my love next to me, it felts like a real blessing.
