Touring Venice

"The only way to see venice is to get lost" and lost we did! So many alleyways little canals it was impossible to find your way. We had twenty minutes to run from one side of venice to the other for our tour. Too bad it was going to take us 40 minutes. We ended up getting a water taxi. If you're in venice either you walk from place to place or you get a water taxi and then walk some more, there is no way a car would get in those streets.

Having the most experience with Italians and the language, I was the one sent to ask questions or get directions. Thankfully a lot of French crosses over into Italian except instead you pronounce all the letters whereas in French you only really say half the word.

The tour was amazing! Took us 2 hours to walk all around venice with someone telling us all the history.  

The basilica was bellissimo!

I took so many pictures of buildings and boats and bridges. 

Instead of crepe stands, like there are in France, there are gelato stands and stores all over the place.

The boat tour was my favorite part. 

Seeing venice from the canale grande (grand canal) was magnifico!!
