We took Friday off, packed some clothes for the weekend, our sunglasses and off we went driving down south to Santa Barbara.
As always, it was a delight to the senses to be in Santa Barbara.
Venice is just like how I had imagined it upclose. Charming, beautiful, decadent, old world. I have never seen anything like it.
Mijo and I absolutely enjoyed this trip. Venice is truly La Serenissima!
The sunshine was glorious in Victoria Lakes when we stepped out of the car. Almost instantly, Mijo started sneezing and my eyes got itchy and red. We didn't realize that it was springtime in Southern Australia . This means allergy season! No wonder everything was in bloom? This was the start of a vacation filled with sunshine. It didn't rain the whole time we were in Melbourne. This Filipino guy was a happy camper!
