Dat Venesië goedkoop kan wees is seker die teenoorgestelde wat jy al gehoor het. Maar voor ek verduidelik moet ek bieg dat dit nie baie maklik is om ‘n ‘ hoe ek dit gedoen het’ te skryf nie. Eerstens, dit is wat dit is en mens kan nie regtig ‘n ‘spin’ daraan

And then this day happened…. I ducked out of the room very early again for a sunrise stroll next to the shore. Man! This Lake Como area is beautiful. And in the early morning light, it’s an artist’s dream. Back at the hostel, I had my beautiful breakfast. And with
