Rialto Bridge (Ponte di Rialto) Venice

It was beautiful this morning we walked to the Grand Canal and got on a water bus to Saint Mark's Square. It is weird hopping on and off of boats rather than buses to get around. It is so easy to get lost here but that is what is so great about it. We saw Doge's Palace and Saint Mark's Basilica then walked to the Rialto bridge. Around every corner …

This past weekend was my first experience travelling in a small group of friends. On Thursday night, myself and three other friends planned a spontaneous trip to Venice for the next day. I'll admit, I was a little nervous for this adventure. We took the night train and arrived in Venice at 2:00 am and during the planning process there was much …

The apartment that Peter has booked for us in Venice is bellisimo! It is owned by a couple that now live in Milan but it must have been their home when they were here in Venice, because it still has all the bits and pieces around like books, pens, papers and homey touches that hotels don't have. It is absolutely beautiful.

It is on the …

Nach 6 Stunden Fahrt haben wir endlich Venedig erreicht. Am Campingplatz Fusina haben wir ein Container-Zimmer für eine Nacht gebucht und dann gleich das Boot nach Venedig genommen. Dort sind wir dann herumspaziert und haben die wichtigsten Attraktionen besichtigt und uns auch ein Eis gegönnt.

Day 1
So, we arrived in Venice after a nice, leisurely train ride from Florence. The sun was out, it was relatively warm, and we had no trouble navigating to the correct water-bus to take us to the end of the Canal. We then spent a solid hour trying to find our B&B, the directions for which took us to a sketchy doorway in Castello, …

We only had one day to look around Venice so we knew we had to get over to the main island quite early so we could see the sights we wanted to see. We were also hopeful that being surrounded by water it might be a little cooler as wind which travels over water is cooler than when it travels over land. However, the humidity was incredibly high, even …

Llegué a Venecia con un sol de mediodía radiante y sin hacer frío.

Cuando salí de la estación me tomé un Vaporetto, el bus acuático, y me dirigí hacia el albergue que tenía recomendado en la guía. Las paradas de los vaporettos están inmediatamente enfrente de la estación Santa Lucía.

Si bien en la guía Lux decía que era más …

On Thursday, we left Siena and took a train to Venice. We had to change trains in Florence, and because we did not take an expensive express train, it took most of the day to get to Venice. We rode the Vaperetto (Water Bus) from the train station to St. Marks Square. Then we attempted to walk to our hotel nearby. We took a couple of wrong bridges, …

This past weekend a huge group of students migrated to Venice to celebrate Carnival Italian style! Unfortunately it was extremely cold this weekend which put a damper on the fun, but it was still an awesome trip!
