Island Hopping in Venice
... quite welcoming with flowerpots on the windowsills. A number of shops are in a circle, and you can easily wander around for 1-2 hours just looking at all the bright colored houses. Even a venture down the side street will give you a rewarding view. There isn't much else to buy except lace and the usual tourist fare.
Coming back on the vaporetti was quite the wait. I'd read about lines but didn't think they'd actually be that long considering it ...
Venice Wandering

Island city on the water
... br>
The population is made up of 60,000 in city, 180,000 in "terraferma" (mainland) and 31,000 on other islands.
Flowing out in various directions from Grand Canal and also inwards from the sea are smaller canals which seem to provide a cul do sac for most of the tiny streets fanning out from the main piazzas. I happily spent a whole day just wandering through winding and deserted narrow streets to see if a canal or bridge would be at ...
