A City awakes, VENICE....

At your photo Venice has some special flavour..., unusual...

The reason is certainly the early morning hour and the entrance to the port

Definitely, the early morning... Congratulations, Gerd! Early bird gets the worm )))

Yes, Vladimir, I got up at 5:00h in the morning, without worms and breakfast

I have an Italian friend who is a great traveller but he cannot live without coffee (Italian!...). He can arrange a coffee even at 5 in the morning. He always carries with him a folding mini-iron and a small coffee pot. You fold the handle of the iron, turn it upside down and switch it on. The coffee-pot goes on top of the flat heating side of the iron... Et voila!
Now I do the same if there is no coffee around ))) No charge for the lesson )))

I know that from the Italians, too. When I was in business in Italy, the driver of the director first had to hold in a cafe for an espresso before we drove to the office.
