Does it really stink?
Venice is lovely and doesn't really stink. David was willing to give Venice a second chance after a bad experience in 1998 which had left him with a bad taste. He'd been denied entry into St Mark's Cathedral as being inappropriately dressed because ...
Guess What? More Canals!

Lovely (but sinking) city of Venice..
... they ended up replacing it with an almost replica of what was there originally. At night we went over to Rialto bridge, the biggest in Venice and were admiring the view. As you admire the view it is too easy to forget you are in a place that's also ...

... definitely worth waiting for the nice weather to visit Venice. I was expecting to be disappointed this time as I had loved Venice so much last time I was in Italy. But the weather was lovely (high 20's and sunny), and, though crowded in parts, it is easy ...
Venice in a shoebox

Still Ringing
... version of a great city, much like I imagine how my grandchildren will feel traveling to New Orleans. Actually, in many ways Venice reminded me slightly of home, the islands walled and devoted to above-ground marble graves was probably a clincher. Back ...
Venice, Italy
... Venice. Later in the day, we rejoined the tourist trap, but it was better - I could still see recognize the character of Venice everywhere we went, regardless of the crowds and hype. We really can't complain about the crowds, though. From what we are ...

Rock up to Venice on a Sat night -not a good idea!

"Wish You Were Here"
Not much to expand on today - wandering the lanes and alleys of Venice this morning to the eastern tip and Liz and I then venturing over to the glass-making island of Murano this afternoon. Liz was in search of glass beads for her lace-making bobbins and ...
