Need I say more about a city built on canals, crazy! I only went into the city twice to kind of suss things out so when I take Rachael back for Carnivale I’ll know where everything is and I have a feel for the place. My base station was Camping Fusina where I hung out with my Kiwi buddy Marty and took some photos for the campground. Pretty amazing place within itself… As it would have it a lot of the major sites in Venice were under major construction. A few things I didn’t get to photograph including; the Bridge of Sighs, wide shot of San Marco Square, and Basilica di San Marco I guess that’s Europe, a price comes with being so old and historic. Below are just a few of my favorites.




This is the only female Gondola driver in Venice!





These two above are from the tower at San Maro Square.







The Grand Canal in Venice is a very busy in transit all day. Every boat you can image; Gondolas, delivery vessils, floating cranes, police boats, fire boats, ferrys, and taxis! The yellow floating cabin in the distance is a ferry stop of public transit, just like a subway system.

This is the symbol of Venice… The Winged Lion of St. Mark.
