Two valued members of our staff, who also happen to be married, and former owners of a travel agency share a passion for life, love and travel. As part of our Atlas Travel Blog, we are proud to introduce the “Travel Attic.” A couple’s account of their fondest memories from traveling the world.
VENICE, ITALY
We had been on the bus for about three hours, departing Florence after breakfast. The ride through the Po Valley is dull, nothing like the Apennines Mountains between Rome and Florence which are so ruggedly beautiful and so very Italian. As we neared Venice, we passed some train tracks and some ugly industrial sites. But then, the bus arrived at the terminal, we all disembarked and after turning the corner, there it was ñ The Grand Canal! Venice. Oh my. The view was breathtaking. We were really in Venice! The beautiful main train station was on the other side of the canal and there were water taxis, gondolas and glorious palazzos and hotels. To this day, that first glimpse of one of the world’s most exciting cities still makes us smile.
