Venice is a place I’ve always wanted to visit but in recent decades at least, always been put off by the huge crowds of people like me.
Fascinating stories, and amazing how quickly the water quality has improved. I vaguely remember a TV documentary in recent years, simulating how quickly nature would reclaim the cities if humans went away.
That documentary wasn’t all fish, swans and dolphins mind you. The vegetation also began to spread unabated, covering and penetrating the streets and buildings, which quite soon started to collapse into ruin...
