Italy: The Biggest Surprise in Venice

“Surprise: To cause the feeling of wonder, astonishment, or amazement, at something unanticipated”

It’s a fact that I’ve never been great when it comes to surprises, I like to know everything about everything. I think it’s got something to do with my day job, I’m an Emergency Planner and have been for 12 years – I plan for when bad things happen and write contingency plans. In order to do that I need as much information as possible to make informed decisions regarding how best to respond. There used to be a time when someone told me they had a surprise for me it instinctively filled me with dread.
