Venice- it's just like the movies
What a busy and jam packed day Venice was for the Kives family! This was our disembarkation day from the ship, and the day for us to explore Venice. Once we had finally gone through the madness of getting off the ship (which actually wasn't so bad since it was around 930 am).
