Flag of Italy Venice, Italy
Saturday, September 22, 2007

A bus and a train took us to Venice today - about an hour all up. Half an hour in a queue to get a tourist map and we were off.

Venice was extremely crowded - the crowds can not be understated - but the weather was great. My over-all verdict is that it was good to visit but I have no desire to ever go back. It was dirty, rundown, smelly, expensive and crowded.

Have a look at the photos.
