... smell of freshly baked croissants. MMMmmmmmm!!!! Yum! The breakfast was very tasty, here&#8217;s the pic) Italian coffee is great too!<br><br>I love the mornings in different towns, it's so interesting the moment the town begins to wake up, if you know what I mean.This moment in Venice is particularly beautiful and unique, you feel yourself not 21st but maybe in 14th of 16th century. It's like a wonderful fairy tale surrounding ...

We are traveling today to Siena and won't be able to communicate for awhile so wanted to give a big shout out to our friend John Ruppe. Have a good one bro, we love you!! We also wanted to tell the Heavens above to give Mick's Grandpa Ted a kiss and hug and ask to ...

... one public one. You have to drink or eat to use their toilet; however, tonight I did beg one place and they let me go without eating. Anyway, we were sitting in the sun drinking wine and people watching on the main canal. It was great and then I spilled wine on Mick, so we had to return to our room and change. The funniest thing is that I spilled the wine because I asked a passerby to take our picture so when I was ...

... were closer we would have had a ****** hotel.<br><br>Once there we followed Dee into the main square of San Michel and decided what we were going to do for the day. There was an option to go on a gondola ride with our group and see a lace making demonstration, or we could just do our own thing. All of the couples in our group were keen to do the gondola ride in the evening as we figured it was more romantic, so we agreed to meet back at San Michel at 6pm to organize it. There were 8 of us in ...

It is already 11.30 pm.<br><br><br><br>The true is that there is a smell on the island which I never have liked. This is my 3rd visit here in Venice.<br><br><br><br>It is a rainy night, and we have a stroll in the narrow streets ...

We made our first trip to Venice today after a failed attempt of getting on the wrong train and going all the way to Slovenia! We were happy that we got it right this time! And since it is January, it was a bit on the cold side. But we had fun exploring and getting lost. I had no idea Venice was so big. We must have ...

... While in Venice, we stayed in a nice one bedroom apartment. It was a treat to have the bathroom and kitchen all to ourselves. On our first day together, we actually spent the morning catching up before hopping more boats in the afternoon to see Murano Island (known for its glass) and Burano Island (known for its lace). We capped the day with a boat tour (#1, if you're heading to Venice) that shows you all the sites along the Grand Canal. It was a beautiful tour at night- even ...

... chugging across the lagoon towards Venice, and I'm craning my neck trying to see the skyline of ancient church domes and whatnot... what's that? Cell towers and smokestacks? Geez Louise, I could be off the coast of Texas around Baytown or La Porte. Then Dave points out the direction that I need to be looking, and there it is. Venice!!

... and disgusting. After standing around watching people play in the flooded square, we decided to head off to the post office so Amy could mail home some postcards. Here, we decided to split up as Patrice, Mar, and Amy all decided to do some major shopping. However, Clay, Suzanne, and myself still felt like exploring. So we parted ways and continued on. We ran into Andria and Jason whose wedding anniversary was today and were having a romantic day to themselves. We ...
