Venice time!

What a weekend! Full of masks, traffic jams only consisting of pedestrians and of course the magic of Venice. Sunday morning we went to the “Flight of the Angel” at St. Marcus Square - with the whole group of 31 costumes! People actually thought we were the official parade and we were filmed be the “Deutsche Welle” (watch it here in English, starting at 0:00:50 time stamp).

After this we escaped from the too-well-known and far-too-packed square to another one nearby where this picture of me and my boyfriend was taken (guess who is who!!). We had enough space to present our costumes, here you find more pictures at Carnevale di Venezia Bonn.

Later in the evening my friend and I decided to go back to St. Marcus Square, this time I was wearing the costume of my aunt. We made a great show with kissing and cuddling, so a Japanese tourist was quite enchanted by us; she just kept staring at us with a little smile on her face while the others of her party didn’t stop taking pictures. It is wonderful to see people captivated by these wonderful costumes and I hope we will be back in Venice next year…
