Travel Focus – Wonderful Venice
With many traditional Summer holidays out of the way, and with most children now back at school, I thought I would look at some places that are perfect for an Autumn City break, a few days out of the rat race in places that are perfect for soaking up some culture, fine food and wonderful atmosphere. I am going to start by looking at Venice, which is, in my opinion, one of the most wonderful and unusual places on Earth.

A weekend in Blackpool with Travelodge Southshore
