Mark Stachiew Travels Friday Five

Welcome to this week's installment of the Friday Five, a quick collection of the most interesting travel stories that I shared this week on Mark Stachiew Travels. It includes the requisite COVID updates, but also links to some offbeat stories like the woman who travel with four sets of eyeglasses and the traveller who rode the canals of Venice on a garbage boat.
