As emailed to some of you, we've thought long and hard about wedding gifts...and we've decided the best gift of all for us would be a contribution to our honeymoon.We're heading off to Venice for 5 nights on the Wednesday following the wedding. We've booked the apartment Doge overlooking the Grand Canal. It's about a 10 minute walk from St Marks Square so close enough but also far enough away to be in the quiet zone. Apartments rentals are as common in Venice as in Barcelona it seems, with many large villas converted into studios and flats for weekly or monthly rental. It also gives us the flexibility for getting up, eating etc that we've found we don't have in hotels....and after all....it is our honeymoon :o)
One the 6th day we're hiring a car and heading West to Vicenza for 3 nights. We've picked out hotel Villa Tacchi, a wonderful 17th Century Villa about 10Km outside of Vicenza in the village of Gazzo Padovano.
We'll then have a further 3 nights at Sirmione on Lake Garda.....we'll update this blog when we've selected a hotel there.
We'll be returning to Barcelona on Sunday 7th June. Italy is a beautiful country, and this is an especially lovely area so we're delighted to be spending quality time here.
In order to avoid those nasty bank charges, we're offering both UK and Spanish accounts to transfer money, should you wish to make an electronic transfer before the wedding.
For those of you here in Spain:

For the UK:

Many thanks from us both, and look forward to seeing you very soon.
