Right. Not a trip, but it was during the holidays, so it counts. Three deer (symbol of my town, apparently) at the market square during the holiday period :d

Old lighthouse in Urk, which used to be an island, but is not anymore. Still fishery is the main thing there, besides tourism, and one can eat some quite tasty fish there.

Sunset at the local lake (Veluwemeer). It was a 15-minute trip by bike to get there, so it counts.

Looks like I will be going to Venice next month. Can you give me some tips? :d

 

Drink a lot of water before leaving Croatia, half a liter bottle may cost around 5 euro in the centre...:d

Well it is Venice so you could just bring a portable water distiller right? I mean the city floods on a regular basis

Never been in Venice, but it is true that it is very very expensive, so consider this and CHECK the prices on the menu before you eat somewhere there: sometimes it is really difficult to realize how expensive can be that city. From Venice, if you wish to visit near cities and places, probably the easiest to be reached are Trieste, Padova (Padua) and Verona. Apart from San Marco and the cathedral, you should have a tour on a gondola, it is a must there
