Venice days one and two

Arrived in Venice a bit bleary eyed but we were excited to get on our water taxi and get into the beautiful city of Venice. So much to see, so many masquerade costumes and visitors from all around the world. The whole city is an architectural masterpiece with even the smallest buildings containing works by some of the greatest artists such as Giorgione, Titian, Tintoretto, Veronese. We visited and toured the Doge Palace and St. Marks Basilica and learned more about the art and history of Venice at the Correr museum. It was a full walking day, rainy but still really beautiful. We enjoyed a lovely afternoon wine tasting and placed an order of some of our favorites to be shipped home. Met friends out for dinner before rounding off the night with Venice based music ensemble Interpreti Veneziani. And if course gelato before bed. A lovely first day and a half. Steve will add more too!Baca lagi
