Vvvvvvvvvvvvv Towns

On the Rialto bridge


Vernazza, Varenna, Verona……. this time it is Venice.
We stayed an extra day in the Dolomite mountains and again in Venice so now we are 2 days behind our schedule. Plenty of chances to ‘catch up’ a day later.
It was a long trip from the quiet, tiny town of Castelrotto to the bustling city of Venice. We found the same hotel where we had stayed previously. It has a great location, just off the Grand Canal and the walkway to St Mark’s Square….. but it is quiet.
Venetian glass, carnival masks, the Rialto bridge, gondolas and gondoliers, the Doge’s Palace, the canals and the wonderful St. Mark’s Square….. Venice is a magnificent place.

Wish I was there. That's somewhere I want to get to before it sinks!

What news on the Rialto?

Last time in Venice the square was flooded and we walhed around on wooden platforms..a bit like school desks. This time it was dry.

The Rialto is still full of bling..but we couldn't find Giuseppe or Marco.
