Venice Italy

Venice! What can you say? It's a must see in Europe. The first day started with a water taxi ride followed by a visit to Piazza San Marco and a nice lunch just a few blocks away. In the afternoon, we went on an organized walking tour that included the Basilica di Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, an apartment where Mozart stayed, the Bridge of Sighs, the Accademia Bridge, narrow passage ways, and a look at Ventian architecture and Piazzas. The best part was a Gondola ride that included small quite passage ways through Venice, and also a short ride in the Grand Canal. (watch it here) We ended the day with a nice dinner near the water. The second day included more walking through the city streets, Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute , a Gondola workshop, a Regatta in the Grand Canal, the Rialto Bridge, the Rialto market, shopping, and a wonderful dinner on the Canal.
