DH and I have been very fortunate to have had some lovely city breaks with our kids. On a bit of a whim, I booked a long weekend in Venice for us, which both children are really excited about.
However, since booking, I have read some things which have really worried me. My youngest is 6 and despite swimming lessons, is a complete non swimmer. She is very frightened in water. Will happily hop on a boat, but actually getting in is another story. I have read people saying not to take young kids to Venice due to the dangers of all the canals. Stupidly, this didn’t really occur to me when booking.
I do suffer from anxiety, and since reading this, my mind is doing somersaults and I’m now getting into a huge panic about the risks and worrying incase DD were to fall in.
Have I made a big mistake in booking this? If I cancel, we will lose a lot of money as the trip is non refundable.
Is this all just my anxiety taking over, or have I been really silly in booking this?
