Island Hopping in Venice
... March. Boy was I wrong, as the vaporetti I was hoping to get on filled up and we had to wait a half hour for the next one. The funny thing that happened though., right after that vaporetti left, a private small boat pulled up to the dock - like a taxi and offered rides to people to Venice for 10 euros a head. A good 20 people took him up on it, and you know he's made his day's wages right then and there. Not sure if it's legal, yet if the buses only run ...
Venice Wandering
... Lido, home of the Venice Film Festival.

We then spent hours getting sore feet wandering around the narrow streets and little bridges over the canals, occasionally checking the map to see where we were. It didn’t feel like 32 years since we had been ...
Venice, Lido & Grado
We got up early and left for Venice, it took about an hour of driving before we hit our destination; we found our car parking straight away at Tronchetto. A short walk and then we caught the sky train to the bottom of Venice. It was absolutely heaving, the sun was out and it was like being in a jam jar full of ants. Hot, sweaty and not much room to breath.
We set off in the direction of St Mark's square, I declined the 2 euro map instead opting for ...
