Kim’s Guide to Venice

Venice is absolutely beautiful!! We drove there from Florence — about a two hour drive.

The water level rises about a centimeter every year in the famous canal-filled Italian city. So when it is high tide, you have to be careful of the steps because they are all covered in water!

We spent the day walking around then had an amazing dinner on the water.

Oh, this is funny: Look at the picture with all of us standing with the beautiful
background. You will notice that I am wearing socks with hideous sandals! That’s because my luggage got lost and I had nothing to wear!

My family and Reggie were
making fun of me all day! Ha ha!

Here are five awesome things to do if you ever find yourself in Venice:

  1. Visit the Basilica di San Marco (a post on my visit to the square there is coming soon!)
  2. Take a gondola ride, of course! I recommend the Grand Canal — that’s like the city’s main street. 
  3. Get a room with a kitchen and cook a fresh catch from the fish market.
  4. Take a lift up to the top of the basilica’s tall campanile.
  5. The best window shopping is on the wide street, Calle Larga XXII Marzo.

The fading grandeur of Venice's canal houses makes for an intriguing atmosphere everywhere you go in the city, but there are also some standout structures that shouldn't be missed. Perhaps foremost among them is the Basilica di San Marco, which is ...

    Haha! That is so funny about the socks!
    I’m so sorry to hear your luggage got lost. Hopefully they find it soon and if they don’t – hey, another excuse to go shopping!
    Enjoy your trip.

    Love,

    I would have loved to see your little temper tantrum losing your luggage. It would have been hilarious! Just as hilarious as you demanding a $2500 a night suite from your mom!

    I’ll be in Italy this weekend, flying in to Venice first then heading out to Florence and finally arriving in Rome. What a bummer you’ll be leaving by then. It would’ve have been a treat to see you (by chance) in person.
    Thanks for the tips on where to go, I will definitely note them down.

    Kim didn’t loose her luggage !!! She is just a scam artist. Just like she was robbed at LAX !!! Give me a BREAK!!! OMG this chick will do anything for a dollar. She probably told reggie to dispose of her luggage so she can file an insurance claim for an absurd amount of money. Wow you have to be low class to do things like that. All the caviar in the world could not give you class. YUCK!!

    I love the second to last picture of you and your grandma – her yellow clothes match the yellow in the building behind and the yellow chairs and t-shirts in the background. She is so pretty and always seems to dress very stylish! So nice! Oh BTW your show KUWTK has been on all afternoon here in los angeles 1-6pm – it’s 4:30 and the episode is Kardashian family vacation to the ski lodge and Bruce’s randoms just arrived for beer and pizza lol

    Dude what is wrong with “Anonymous”! My gosh, get a job or find a hobby or better yet, find someone to love you, if that’s possible! You seem to hate Kim so much yet you’re always on the site? You sound like a weirdo.
