Aug. 28, 1999: Monique, Kelli and I arrived in Venice. Here we are in St. Mark's Square.
St. Mark's Basilica
We visited a famous glass-blowing factory.
And, of course, no trip to Venice is complete without a gondola ride!
The ride is absolutely beautiful, going under bridges and seeing beautiful scenery. This is a picture of Mozart's home. As 1000 Places to See Before You Die states, gondolas are "the most enjoyable and romantic way to see the hidden corners of this unique city whose streets are filled with water."
Feeding the birds.....
The view of Venice as we sailed away.
Verdict: We only spent one day in Venice, but I thought that was plenty. Absolutely worth seeing with plenty of things to do to fill a day or two, but we felt ready to move on to other European sites after one fun-filled day!
