After a week of sailing, we were back in Venice again and it was time to say goodbye. It's always hard saying goodbye after having such a great trip. But I guess the memories live and we have heaps of stories to share.
The Jade docked at Venice at approximately 7 in the morning. We packed up our stuff and had breakfast for the very last time at Garden Cafe. I can't tell you how much we're going to miss this luxurious buffet!
With our hand carry, we made our way to the port terminal to collect our luggage. I was impressed at how the disembarkation was really organised and efficient.
We then took the water taxi back to the hotel that we stayed at previously. They were so kind to allow us to leave our luggage for a couple of hours before we had to head off to the airport.

We were back on land again. No longer on the beautiful Norwegian Jade which I will truly miss.
With the gondola man
As our flight departed in the late afternoon, we managed to spend a few good hours just hanging around Venice city.
We go past this view almost every day when we're in Venice. Gosh, I miss this so dearly!
Can you spot that cheeky Italian man trying to mimic me?
Squeezed in a quick lunch which didn't taste great, yet costed us a bomb.
We were once back on the Alilaguna to head back to the airport.
All in all, a wonderful trip. We were blessed with great weather throughout our journey, except for Corfu obviously but we still had good fun.
This was our first time taking a cruise and I cannot recommend enough that you give it a go too. The crew, service, food and choices were simply amazing.
My husband and I also really enjoyed the entertainment, the pool area as well as the sun deck. We were basically happy with everything we experienced on board, particularly being a first timer, we had so much help and felt very comfortable and welcome throughout the trip.
But yay, finally HOME SWEET HOME!
