Hotel Basilea Malcesine

Day 2<br><br>Good morning Venice!!!<br><br>I woke up too early as I'm still used to Yerevan&#8217;s time. At about 8 o&#8217;clock the bells from the church near us began to ring. It was wonderfull, maybe for many of you it is usual but for me it&#8217;s something extraordinary, as there are no bell towers in Yerevan, and no ringing bells. Only in the main square and it is automatic, not real.<br><br>We went out of the room and felt the ...

Hello Friends and Family,<br>Today started out much more calm and relaxed. It was a beautiful day, sunny and around 60. Spent a few hours looking around and walking the back streets with the locals. It was really amazing, the small streets and the thin people. The market was cool with the fresh fish, fruit, etc. We then had to use the restroom, aka "Toilet" which is something that is almost impossible! I think there ...

... over 5 miles. <br>A lot of people told us we'd visit Venice regularly over the next few years while we are stationed in Aviano....and I think they might be right. Venice is an enchanting place, and the food is pretty darn good as well.<br>Allen and I are hopeless romantics, so this place seems to suite us well. ;)<br>

... reached by lift and have private facilities. Ca' Del Campo can be located within two minutes ' walking distance of St. Mark's Square and easily reachable from every arrival terminals. Ca' Del Campo's address is Campo della Guerra, San Marco, 511 30124 Venice, Italia. The only thing I decided to do today was go to a ...

... easy to move through all of the rooms which displayed these amazing works of some of our favorite artists of the renaissance period. After our trip through the galleries we stopped at a canalside cafe for a pizza lunch and the requisite beer and view. We then headed over to the Islo San Giorgio Maggiorr which is another beautiful basilica on it's own island. The church was constructed between 1599-80. The church is filled with ...

... Canal. We went under the Rialto bridge, past the Accademia, and finally came out the other end of the Grand Canal and I got off at the San Marco stop. Piazza San Marco is one of those places you have to see to believe. The 300 foot clock tower is in the center, on one side is the Basilica San Marco, and next to it is the Doge's Palace. On the other side, in the evenings, are a number of restaurants, each one with its own live ...

... half a can of Red Bull and the bartender thought he should throw a little Vodka on top of the concoction, you know, for good measure! Holy ****! It was crazy. Had a blast...did the birthday song thing and a few Hip Hip Hoorays! As well did the 27 slaps + 1 for good luck and a pinch for an inch! Auzzies have never heard of that, but if I am correct, it will be a full blown trend by next June.

... day walking around, taking a gondola ride and checking out the Ponte Vecchio, the Bridge of Sighs before retreating back on the bus and laying on the grass outside the cook tent and coming up with our vision. That night we got our tour shirts and got into our togas and wreaths and hit the dance floor again for a fantastic toga party. What an awesome night.
