One of my dream trips was to go to Venice during Carnival. Being the history buff that I am, it always appealed to me. What fun would it be to join a tradition that's been happening since the 13th century? Quite a lot, I'd imagine! When I found out that I'd be going to school in Belfast, I knew that I had to make this a reality. I started talking it up to some of my friends waaaaay back in December. When we bought our plane tickets and booked our hotel, it was so hard to believe that I was actually going to be in Venice for Carnival. It still seems a bit surreal and it's been almost a month since the trip.
The timing was perfect as well. The most two important nights, the last Friday and Saturday, were right before my birthday. I got to spend the big twenty-four in Venice! During Carnival! Wearing a mask, dancing in the streets, and exploring everywhere.
As a warning: lots of text and several pictures. <3 All my Venice photos can be seen at this [link].
I asked this question constantly when I was a kid. My parents hated the drone of "are we there yet?" coming from the back seat. To appease me, they told me: "Twenty minutes, Tanith." I'm sure it's been more than twenty minutes... Are we there yet?
