Venice - there is no other. We all fell in love with it and dream of a return. It was misty and damp but thankfully not smelly or flooded. We saw almost no museums, just Venice itself. A treat made even more fun by imagining the people and places of Cornelia Funke's mighty fine The Thief Lord.

| The children saw a number of world-famous buildings on this 'tour' |
