Venice! Canals and Gondolas

Venice map

Coming into Venice is something like stepping into a different world. We got out of the train station and looked outside and bang! Water! No joke! A huge canal as soon as you get out. To get to our B & B we had to take a water bus...a WATER BUS! So awesome! We didnt get too lost as Map Man (Chad) has already been in Venice and knew his way around. The streets are so narrow and windy. There were only a couple of times that we ended at a dead end. The city is small, but overflowing with tourists, haha, as is most of the world we are finding out!

We basically spent two days exploring the city, walking along the canals and watching people get gondola rides. We wanted to take a ride but as with everything in Europe it was waaay to expensive about 80 Euros for a 45 min ride..ouch. So we just watched and enjoyed them that way. We also spent a bit of time looking at all of the masks that were for sale but we couldnt take a picture as none of the vendors or stores allowed pictures to be taken. Top it all off with nearly 100% humidity and 36 degrees C. Talk about hot and sweaty! Off to Riomagiorre!!!
