Venice - Day 26
25. juli 2017, Italien ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
We had lovely breakfast in the garden of our hotel on a beautiful summer morning. The waiter warned us about leaving our food unattended as the pigeons were notorious for swooping down and taking food from the tables. We had no problems but one of the other diners got caught out!

Today was all about wandering the streets and bridges of Venice and only getting lost once.

We mostly wandered around the San Marco and Rialto areas, slowed down by numerous shops and galleries.

After all that shopping we had built up quite a thirst, so we had a beer in a bar just across from our hotel.

In the afternoon we went to the Palace of the Doge, an impressive building capturing the splendour and intrigue of the Venetian Republic.

We crossed the Bridge of Sighs, linking the Palace with the dark cells of the 16th century prison and so named for the sighs given by the condemned prisoners as they saw their last view of the waters of Venice before their incarceration.Læs mere

On our last day in Venice, we went to St Mark's Basilica, a truly beautiful cathedral decorated with glittering mosaics above vast portals. We were not allowed to take photos inside but could do so from the rooftop balconies. Upstairs there were gilt bronze horses, captured treasure from the Venetian sacking of Constantinople, kept inside with reproductions on the balcony overlooking Piazza San Marco.

Michael went to the top of the Campanile, a 99 metre tall bell tower with stunning views over Venice.

After an afternoon of more wandering and shopping, we spent the evening in Piazza San Marco in one of the 18th century cafes drinking the most expensive tea and coffee ever but enjoying the live musical entertainment and the savouring the experience.Læs mere
