Venice was wonderful. The people were exceptionally friendly and our hosts were no different, welcoming us with a bottle of champagne for our honeymoon, Ingrid and Aaron truly put us at ease. The cruisers included allowed us to people watch and ride all the way up to Santa Monica pier, our hosts couldn't have made it easier. Abbot Kinney was full of wonderful restaurants and shops, there was more than enough to do during our long weekend. Above all, relaxing at the beach which felt safe and was gorgeous, really made our trip.
