Gorgeous day in Venice

Venice is amazing! We’ve seen a lot of old towns, but this is incredible. Perfect weather, not too crowded - couldn’t have asked for better.

When we arrived at Piazzale Roma by bus, we decided to head off on foot to explore the city. We walked for 30 min or so through all these small streets and over canals until we got to Saint Mark’s square. We went into Doge’s palace, saw the prison and the bridge of sighs. Simply amazing. On our walk over we had to take a gondola ferry - it was only 2 euro and literally carried us across one canal. But it was nice to get on a gondola as we won’t be hiring one while we’re here - just too expensive. So it gave us a feel.

We walked down to Ponte de Rialto, and then took a water taxi in the grand canal just for kicks. We also ended up touring the Teatro La Fenice (the opera house). Went to an open market and ate some awesome food and desserts.

Overall it was the best day … saw so much, just soaked it all in.Read more
