Venice

Arrived in Venice. The bus has to take a different ferry so we were glad to not see if for a few hours. We took water taxi's down the Grand Canal to St Mark's square where Nathalie had lined up a drink at a cafe on St Mark's square. We stayed on the Lido Island which was nice as there were not as many people there and the atmosphere was relaxing.


There was a beautiful beach where we went for a swim in the Adriatic Sea. The water was warm but it was refreshing. We went for a tour around Venice, going through The Basillica, the Doges Palace, the prision and over the Bridges of Sighs. Lucky for us we took the guide's entrance which meant we passed the lines and lines of people waiting to get in. The cost of the trip was worth it just for that!

We went to an exhibition of glass blowing where a man made a beautiful water vase and a horse. We also went on a canal boat ride through the tiny canals of Venice. No seronade as it cost extra. We then headed to Burano Island for dinner at Di Romano restaruant, a place where the rich and famous eat.

Hot hot hot here. All the time its about 38 degrees.

Off to Florence.
